The blockchain hub: presented as the internet of blockchains, by Tebdermint Inc, a private for-profit entity, Cosmos promises independent blockchains to rely on pre-established consensus methods but also to communicate easily. Cosmos speaks of "zones" to talk about the different blockchains and ensures interoperability between these "zones". The ambition is to allow developers to easily create their own blockchains (public or private) based on pre-established technical standards and to be able to develop different applications. Cosmos links each blockchain together so that they can communicate and thus generate value.

Features:

The platform has its own native token: ATOM. It allows to pay transaction fees, to feed different products of the protocol and to participate to the governance of the Cosmos platform. It is a token that allows to feed decentralized applications.
