Cosmos SDK protocol
Overview
Cosmos SDK is a modular framework for building application-specific blockchains, part of the Cosmos ecosystem. It enables developers to create sovereign blockchains that can interoperate via the Inter-Blockchain Communication (IBC) protocol. The framework uses a composable module system and defaults to Tendermint Core's Byzantine Fault Tolerant (BFT) consensus engine.
Within the DeFi Intel graph, Cosmos SDK connects to 28 tracked entities, most strongly to Cosmos Hub, Sei, Osmosis.

Frequently asked questions
What is Cosmos SDK?
Cosmos SDK is an open-source framework for building custom, application-specific blockchains with a modular architecture, leveraging the Tendermint consensus engine.
How does Cosmos SDK achieve interoperability?
Interoperability is achieved through the Inter-Blockchain Communication (IBC) protocol, which is integrated as a native module, allowing blockchains built with the SDK to exchange tokens and data.
What consensus mechanism does Cosmos SDK use?
Cosmos SDK defaults to Tendermint Core's Byzantine Fault Tolerant (BFT) consensus, which provides high throughput and finality.
What is Cosmos SDK connected to?
In the DeFi Intel knowledge graph, Cosmos SDK is linked to 28 other tracked entities, most strongly to Cosmos Hub, Sei, Osmosis.
