We are very happy to announce supporting COSMOS on imToken. Following Ethereum, Bitcoin, EOS, we now bring you an easy-to-use interface for COSMOS.🌌

In short, the latest imToken version 2.4.0 lets you do a whole bunch of things:

Send & Receive ATOM (+ technically Cosmos IBC tokens) ✅ (with custom Memo and fingerprint/face-id)

Delegate ATOMs and earn interest ✅

Re-delegate to other validators ✅

Withdraw of delegated ATOMs ✅

Watch rewards live in your wallet ✅

… becoming the one-stop wallet for an easy, secure & mobile COSMOS experience.

Soon, we will add …

Voting on governance proposals

ATOM trading on Tokenlon (now live, see here)

👮 As a non-custodial mobile wallet imToken does not hold or have access to user’s funds.

🏦 imToken’s core code is open source and security audited by two independent security firm Slowmist and Cure53 (see). For this new release, we also had the new Cosmos features security audited (see).

🔑 The new imKey bluetooth hardware wallet that connects to imToken will support ATOMs soon and support for Ledger’s Nano X is in research as well.

Why Cosmos? 🌌

… a decentralized network of independent parallel blockchains, each powered by BFT consensus algorithms like Tendermint consensus.

Cosmos sets out to solve two big issues in blockchains — Limited scalability and interoperability between applications — thus, becoming an “internet of blockchains”.

Technically, Cosmos is a network of blockchain (called “Zones”), that are able to communicate through central blockchains called “Hubs”.

Each of the blockchains are able to run different consensus algorithms and different sets of validators, giving each chain its own security assumptions.

For example, a chain with the sole purpose of running the latest game DApp wouldn’t need the same kind of protection against double spending or censorship as a blockchain running million dollar financial applications.

On March 15th 2019, Cosmos launched the Cosmos Hub, the first public Byzantine Fault Tolerance (BFT) blockchain powered by proof-of-stake.

Since Monday this week, Cosmos entered phase 2 of three phases:

✅ network gains stability, ✅ transfers enabled, IBC to be enabled

There are now around 80 projects using the Cosmos SDK for building on top of Cosmos. For more information check out the COSMOS blog.
