Cosmos

Cosmos is a network of interoperable, application-specific blockchains launched in 2019, built around the Tendermint Byzantine fault-tolerant Proof-of-Stake consensus engine and the Inter-Blockchain Communication (IBC) protocol. Stewarded by the Interchain Foundation, headquartered in Zug, Switzerland, Cosmos underpins a broad ecosystem of sovereign chains spanning DeFi, gaming, and infrastructure, with approximately $180 million in total value locked.
