Article from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.
The format of this article needs improvement (November 2022).
The formatting of the text does not follow Wikipedia’s recommendations: it needs to be “Wikified”.
How to do?
The following improvement points are the most common cases:
- securities pre-formatted by the software. They are neither in capital letters nor in bold.
- in text neither in capital letters (surnames too), nor in bold, nor in italics, nor “small” …
- in bold is only used to underline the article title in the introduction, once.
- L’italics rarely used: words in foreign languages, titles of works, names of ships, etc.
- quotes are not in italics, but in plain text. They are surrounded by French quotation marks: “and”.
- bulleted lists should be avoided, written paragraphs are preferred. paintings should be reserved for representing structured data (results, etc.).
- calls from Footnote (small digits in superscript entered by tool ”
Source “) must be placed between the end of the sentence and a period[comme ça]. - internal links (to other Wikipedia articles) should be chosen with care. Link to articles that delve into the topic. General terms that are not related to the subject, as well as repeated references to the same term, should be avoided.
- external links place only in the “External Links” section at the end of the article. These links should be chosen sparingly in accordance with certain rules. If the link is source to the article, its insertion into the text is carried out by footnotes.
- Paste information box (info frame on the right) is not required to complete the layout.
See Help:Wikification for detailed help.

Cosmos is a public blockchain that allows you to exchange currencies and use smart contracts. This protocol, launched by Ignite in 2016, fits into the broader philosophy of the “Internet of Blockchains”, which aims to simply connect multiple networks to each other.[1].
The native Cosmos token is designated ATOM and is non-minable. Owners can earn more by securing the network with staking.[2].

In 2014, developers Ethan Buchman, Peng Zhong, and Jae Kwon created Tendermint and the consensus algorithm of the same name, which aims to be resistant to Byzantine breaking.
In 2016, the project’s white paper was published, followed by an initial coin offering that raised $17 million in Ether. The purpose of the Cosmos blockchain is to become the center of a larger ecosystem that different networks can connect to and interact with. Thus, the Cosmos SDK allows developers to create blockchains and decentralized applications that can interact with each other.
ATOM holders can lock their tokens with validators to secure the network and in return receive compensation through proof of stake. In addition, decisions regarding the development of Cosmos are subject to management votes, which enhances the community aspect.
In February 2022, Tendermint changed its name to Ignite and was led by Peng Zhong. Jae Kwon is still present to continue development of the Cosmos SDK and Gno.land, an ecosystem-integrated blockchain that aims to compete with Ethereum.[3]. In August of the same year, the Interchain Security functionality is announced for deployment in January 2023.[4] ; this will allow some blockchains to secure others and therefore generate more tokens as staking rewards.[5].
If the Cosmos blockchain is the heart of the ecosystem of the same name, many other networks have emerged since then with their own utilities. The table below lists the main Cosmos blockchains.
