Cosmos(ATOM) is a native cryptocurrency created on Cosmos Blockchain network whose transaction takes place from one peer to another without involvement by the government thus is being considered to be a decentralized asset. Cosmos was mainly created to enable different blockchains to be built using its Cosmos network. Cosmos was also mainly created to enable different blockchains to communicate with each other thus ensuring easy transfer of tokens from one blockchain to another.It was also created to enable staking of Cosmos coin in order to ensure that the Cosmos network is well maintained thus in return the stakers receive reward up to 13 % per year.

Cosmos transaction

Cosmos transaction takes place on the Cosmos blockchain explorer based on block height and timestamp. To view how the transaction takes place at Cosmos blockchain explorer, simply follow the link below;

Date Launched

Cosmos was created in 2017 with the main objective of becoming a staking coin thus allowing validators of the Cosmos network to earn interest by staking their Cosmos coin

Founder Of COSMOS

Cosmos was created by Jae Kwon who is a computer programmer and a former employee of Amazon. Jae Kwon created Cosmos with the main objective of making it become a hub of allowing other blockchains to communicate with each other as well as to allow easy transfer of tokens from one blockchain to another. Jae Kwon also wanted to solve the problem of proof-of-work thus he created Cosmos to become a proof-of-stake coin.

Process of creating Cosmos

Unlike cryptocurrencies like bitcoin and Ethereum which are proof-of-work thus are created through the mining process in the presence of power and internet, for Cosmos that is not the case, instead, Cosmos was created to become a proof-of-stake coin thus most of it is being released to the Cosmos network through staking. You can either decide to become a solo staker which is less rewarding or can join a pool staking which is more rewarding. When you become a pool staker, you will be assigning your Cosmos token to validators who will be taking part in voting consensus of the Cosmos network transaction. The validators will be randomly chosen by the network based on the amount of token they have. The more the token the validators have the more the network will choose them to validate transactions on the Cosmos network thus the more the reward thus the stakers who will have taken part in delegation of their token will earn more reward from those validators. Validators who go against the network will be slashed their delegation coin. This will happen if validators set higher fees than the required by the network or they set lower fees than the actual network fees or even they try to cheat the network to earn more block reward. To be secure you should delegate your Cosmos coin to a professional validator. The staking period will last for a period of 21 days after which the validators will be rewarded based on the amount delegated to their staking pool. The more the delegation the higher the reward. Per year, the staking reward can amount up to 13% based on the amount delegated. If you feel you want to start staking Cosmos and earn reward just like other delegators, you can follow the link to join the pool of the Cosmos validators;

Maximum circulation of Cosmos

The maximum supply of Cosmos coin that is expected to be circulating in the Cosmos Network should be 236,198,958.12 . Out of this amount, 1,777,707 are locked for a period of 1 year to cater for employees need while 21,842,188.81 are locked on monthly basis for a period of 22 months. Another 120 millions are bonded for a period of 21 days after which they are unbounded. The remaining amount which is approximately to 90 million coins are the one circulating at the moment.

Cosmos Price

Currently, 1 Cosmos is worth more than $3 and its price is expected to increase over the next period of time. Cosmos is being abbreviated as ATOM.
