In this guide, we’ll explain what the Cosmos project is and how it works. We’ll also give you a brief overview of its history and its native token, ATOM.
Cosmos is a blockchain technology project designed to deliver the next generation of distributed applications, or dApps.

We believe that dApps are the future of how we will engage with software at every level—from business applications to social media and beyond. Today’s centralized databases and cloud services can serve as gateways for these decentralized networks, allowing them to connect with users around the world.
The Cosmos Network allows you to create your own custom token on top of any blockchain platform; it’s also compatible with Ethereum (ETH). You can use tokens from other chains or build your own assets on top of Cosmos ATOMs.
Cosmos has an ambitious goal — to create an ecosystem of connected blockchains that can scale and interoperate with each other.
Cosmos is a next-generation network of blockchains. Its goal is to connect all blockchains and allow them to communicate with each other through special smart contracts known as ATOMs. It will be able to handle thousands of transactions per second, which means that it can handle millions of transactions per second.
The project was founded in 2014 by Ethan Buchman.

Buchman is a PhD student at MIT, and he’s also the founder of Tendermint—a consensus engine that powers the Cosmos blockchain.
Tendermint — a Byzantine Fault Tolerant consensus engine — is responsible for the Cosmos blockchain’s reliability, speed and energy efficiency.

Byzantine Fault Tolerance (BFT) refers to a system that is able to withstand malicious nodes or actors in its network. In order for this system to work, it must have multiple parties who are able to regulate and maintain consensus on the state of the blockchain at any given time.
In comparison with other blockchains like Ethereum and Bitcoin, Cosmos uses Tendermint as its core protocol rather than proof-of-work (PoW), which means that there is no need for miners in order to confirm transactions on the network. This reduces costs by eliminating miners’ wages and electricity consumption requirements while also speeding up transaction confirmation times because there is less work required by each node in order for new blocks to be added onto the chain.
ATOMs are the native token of the Cosmos network. They serve as a reward to validators involved in maintaining the blockchain and are also used to pay transaction fees and govern other aspects of the system, such as protocol upgrades and inflation rates.

ATOMs can be staked by validators who help secure ATOMs on behalf of users around the world. Validators will be rewarded with ATOMs for their work, which helps ensure that they remain honest actors in this process. Users can earn more rewards by staking their own ATOMs or simply making transactions on top of it!
ATOM has been one of the best-performing cryptocurrencies over the last year
ATOM has been one of the best-performing cryptocurrencies over the last year, gaining more than 1,300 percent in less than nine months.
The token is used to pay transaction fees and govern other aspects of the system, such as protocol upgrades and inflation rates. The price is determined by market demand for ATOM tokens and not by an ICO or IEO (Initial Exchange Offering).
We’re excited about the future of Cosmos ATOM and its potential to revolutionize the way we think about blockchain technology. While it may be difficult to imagine right now, there are many use cases that could benefit from this innovative solution. It’s clear that ATOM has a bright future ahead of it!
