Introduction

The Cosmos Network bills itself as the Internet of Blockchains. It will be composed of a variety of blockchains connected via the Cosmos Hub, the first blockchain launched on the Cosmos Network, and the Interblockchain Communicator protocol (TCP/IP). The Cosmos Hub launched on March 13th 2019, it was largely developed by All In Bits Inc., while the project as a whole is supported by the Interchain Foundation.

Initial Allocation of ATOM

A fundraiser was held in 2017 by Cosmos. The initial target was $10 million, which was achieved during the first minute of the launch. For that reason, the target was extended to $17 million which was achieved within half an hour.

The initial allocation of ATOM tokens was suggested as follows by the Interchain Foundation: - 5% to initial donors - 10% to the Interchain Foundation - 10% to the All In Bits Inc. - 75% to private and public fundraisers

Tendermint BFT

Tendermint BFT is a consensus algorithm discovered decades ago by academics and revived

by Jae Kwon, the founder of Cosmos, in 2013. It is used as an addition to the usual Proof-of- Stake (PoS) consensus algorithm to create the consensus algorithm used by Cosmos, called

Bonded Proof-of-Stake (BPoS).

Tendermint BFT supposedly solves the environmental threat issues posed by Bitcoin’s Proof- of-Work (PoW) while maintaining a similar security profile, using a Byzantine Fault Tolerance model.

Cosmos Network Architecture

The Cosmos Network focuses on a problem faced by top blockchains: scalability. For that reason it is composed of “hubs” and “zones” called the Hub & Spoke Architecture. Hubs, such as the Cosmos Hub, connect all of the zones. Each zone is an “application-specific blockchain”, they can be considered sidechains.

Zones have a single connection with the hub to be interoperable with all other zones. So far, the Cosmos Hub is the first and only hub on the network. However, anyone can fork the Cosmos Hub and create a new hub. This scalable and interoperable model represents what the developers are calling the “Internet of Blockchains”.

Cosmos SDK

The Cosmos SDK is the modular software development kit that developers can use to build their own “application-specific” sidechain. An example of a well-known blockchain that has used Tendermint and the Cosmos SDK is BinanceChain, the blockchain used by Binance DEX.

Frequently Asked Questions

Yes. We've consistently identified winners across multiple cycles. Bitcoin under $1,000, Ethereum under $70, Solana under $10, WIF from $0.003 to $5, PopCat from $0.004 to $2, SPX blasting past $1.70, and our latest pick has already 200X'd since June 2025. Everything is timestamped and public record.

No. When we founded Cryptonary in 2017 the market was new to everyone. We intentionally created content that was easy to understand and actionable. That foundational principle is the crux of Cryptonary. Taking complex ideas and opportunities and presenting them in a way a 10 year old could understand.

Signal vs noise. We filter out 99.9% of garbage projects, provide data backed analysis, and have a proven track record of finding winners. Not to mention since Cryptonary's inception in 2017 we have never taken investment, sponsorship or partnership. Compare this to pretty much everyone else, no track record, and a long list of partnerships that cloud judgements.

We share highly sensitive, time-critical research. Once it's out, it can't be "returned." That's why membership is annual only. Crypto success takes time and commitment. If someone is not willing to invest 12 months into their future, there is no place for them at Cryptonary.

Yes. You will have 24/7 to the team that bought you BTC at $1,000, ETH at $70, and SOL at $10.

Our team has over 50 years of combined experience which you can tap into every single day.

Daily. We provide real-time updates, weekly reports, emergency alerts, and live Q&As when the markets move fast. In crypto, the market moves fast, in Cryptonary, we move faster.

If our approach to the market doesn’t beat the overall crypto market during your subscription, we’ll give you a full refund of your membership fee. No questions asked. For quarterly and monthly subscribers this is applicable once your subscription runs for 6 consecutive months.
