Why do you love $ATOM, IBC and the Cosmos ecosystem?
Here are the top 3 reasons we cannot get enough of Cosmos.
👇
1/
Embrace all tribes, no salty vibes.
It's extremely counterproductive how communities split up in tribes defined by which blockchain you support, especially when blockchains are supposed to be open and transparent.
Cosmos encourages new chains, and shares their success.
2/
Group effort, no cult leader.
No Vilatik $ETH
No CZ $BNB
No Justin $TRX
No Charles $ADA
No Gavin $DOT
No Alex $CEL
Sure Cosmos is founded by Jae and Ethan, but they are not put on a God-like pedestal. Others have picked up and taken the tech to new heights.
3/
Show don't tell.
The technology that makes up Cosmos has been around since 2014 (!).
Secret Network is "the first blockchain with data privacy by default for every dapp - 100x'ing the possibilities for #DeFi, #NFTs, .."
Crypto is becoming a bigger and bigger part of our financial lives, and with that everything is stored visibly on the blockchain.
This means that privacy is going to play an important role, so that crypto users have a choice to keep their transaction history and wallet balances to themselves.
"But I have nothing to hide".
Classic example of any free person's famous last words.
"The metaverse is a concept of a persistent, online, 3D universe that combines multiple different virtual spaces."
Will repeat that last part: "MULTIPLE different virtual spaces."
Second off, what is IBC?
The Inter-Blockchain Communication protocol (IBC) is a reliable & secure interoperability protocol that handles transport, authentication, and ordering of data across different sovereign blockchains.
IBC is also referred to as "TCP/IP for blockchains".
The blockchains that you know and love have a pretty rigid structure.
As a developer, this gives you two options: 1) build applications inside a restrictive environment or 2) fork the code and make your own chain.
Tendermint: Create a chain
Creating your own chain isn’t so easy.
Tendermint is open-source software for launching blockchains that allow you to write applications in any language. Better yet, they can communicate with other blockchain using IBC.
