Cosmos Ecosystem

The Cosmos Ecosystem, often dubbed the "Internet of Blockchains," is a decentralized network designed to facilitate interoperability and scalability among various blockchain networks. It aims to create an interconnected web of blockchains that can communicate and exchange tokens seamlessly.

Key Components

Cosmos Hub: The central blockchain of the Cosmos network, which connects to other blockchains (zones) and facilitates interoperability.
Tendermint Core: A consensus engine that powers the Cosmos Hub, providing high performance and security.
Inter-Blockchain Communication (IBC): A protocol that enables different blockchains within the Cosmos ecosystem to transfer data and tokens between each other.
Cosmos SDK: An open-source framework that simplifies the process of building custom blockchains. It includes pre-built modules for common functionalities like staking, governance, and token issuance.
