What is Cosmos?

Cosmos (ATOM) is a decentralized network of independent blockchains, each powered by Byzantine Fault-Tolerant (BFT) consensus algorithms.

$ATOM is the native staking token of the Cosmos Network. The Cosmos vision is to build an “internet of blockchains” that can scale and interoperate with one another.

$ATOM has three use cases:

• as a spam-prevention mechanism (paying fees)
• as staking tokens
• as a voting mechanism in governance
