The Cosmos SDK is an open-source framework for building multi-asset public & permissioned blockchains.
Blockchains built with the Cosmos SDK are generally referred to as application-specific blockchains.
Cosmos uses the Tendermint Byzantine Fault Tolerant (BFT) consensus.
Tendermint enables fast transaction finality and offers high security & availability by ensuring that a two-thirds majority of validators agree on the state of the network.
The native token is ATOM with a market capitalization of $3 billion, and a circulating supply of 286 million.
The circulating P/F ratio of ATOM is 4573x and the circulating P/S ratio is 228672x.
The primary use case is the creation of application-specific blockchains.
