Cosmos Basics

Cosmos is a decentralized network of independent parallel blockchains, each based on BFT consensus algorithms such as Tendermint. Cosmos is an ecosystem of blockchains that can scale and interact with each other. Before Cosmos, blockchains were closed and unable to communicate with each other. They were difficult to build, and they could only process a small number of transactions per second.



Cosmos makes blockchains powerful and easy to develop using the Tendermint BFT and the modularity of the Cosmos SDK.

Cosmos allows blockchains to pass values to each other through IBC and Peg-Zones, allowing them to maintain their sovereignty.

Cosmos allows you to scale blockchain applications to millions of users with horizontal and vertical scalability solutions.

Cosmos (ATOM) Wallets

Before purchasing the ATOM tokens, you should find the wallet that will suit you the best. There are several wallets: desktop, web, and mobile.



You can store your ATOM coins directly on the exchange on which you trade or buy coins.

ATOM Mining

The Cosmos project solves scalability issues using the Tendermint hybrid algorithm and autonomous blockchains. Processed transactions within the network do not affect the overall workload. This indicator is affected only by transactions between separate networks and data exchange operations.



The network does not provide for classic mining, the profitability of which can be calculated using a special converter. The votes for the coordination of the blocks are transmitted by the validators, which are selected by voting.
