--- About Ava Labs ---

AVA Labs is building a payments rail and computation engine based on the break-though Avalanche family of consensus protocols. Avalanche Consensus is inspired by the concept of metastability and gossip algorithms, enabling distributed ledgers to conduct governance on-chain, enable high transaction volumes, quick transaction confirmations, and achieve true decentralization.

--- About the Cosmos Network ---

The Cosmos Network is a decentralized network of independent, scalable, and interoperable blockchains, creating the foundation for a new token economy. The Cosmos Hub is the first hub among many hubs that will launch within the Cosmos Network of sovereign blockchains.

Before the Cosmos Network, blockchains were siloed and unable to communicate with each other. They were hard to build and could only handle a small number of transactions per second. Cosmos solves these problems with a vision to build the “Internet of Blockchains.”

The Cosmos SDK is a developer-friendly, modular framework, each powered by a Byzantine Fault-Tolerant (BFT) consensus algorithm such as Tendermint Core, allowing developers to fully customize their decentralized applications and focus on business logic.

--- About Tendermint Inc ---

Tendermint Inc is a software development company contracted by the Interchain Foundation (ICF) to develop the Cosmos Network. Founded in 2014, Jae Kwon created Tendermint Core, the Proof of Stake (PoS) Byzantine Fault Tolerant (BFT) consensus algorithm developed to address the speed, scalability, and environmental issues experienced by Proof of Work (PoW), the type of mining mechanism employed by many existing blockchain ecosystems today, such as Bitcoin and Ethereum.

The Tendermint Core engine, which powers the Cosmos Hub, is connected to applications by a proprietary application interface that is universally compatible with other programming languages, making it easy for developers to choose a language that fits their needs. Tendermint Inc is also pioneering the concept of Inter-blockchain Communication (IBC) for interoperability, and has worked with the Thai Government, Binance, Loom, Kava, Sentinel and TruStory.
