What is Cosmos (ATOM)
Cosmos (ATOM) is an innovative ecosystem, comprising of Blockchains capable of scaling and interoperating with one another. Cosmos is solving the common issue of Blockchain inter-communication, making it possible for them to speak to one another whilst maintaining speed and efficiency.
Cosmos is a decentralized network of independent parallel blockchains, each powered by BFT consensus algorithms like Tendermint consensus.
Using a proof of stake, Cosmos and Tendermint are building a highly-scalable and fast consensus protocol whilst simultaneously minimizing the resources, time, and complexity involved in the construction of blockchain-based applications. To achieve this, Cosmos offer a reliable interface for popular programming languages coupled with a network of parallel blockchains each powered by the consensus protocol.
Note: Bitfinex supports mainnet based ATOM token.
