The Cosmos Stack and the Velocity of Web3
summary
Cosmos describes an opinionated stack: Tendermint (a BFT consensus engine with fast finality and hundreds of strangers running testnets), a modular Cosmos SDK (staking, slashing, governance, fee distribution) and Inter-Blockchain Communication (IBC) to move tokens between chains. Proof‑of‑stake is implemented and a live Game of Stakes bounty will stress incentives. Benchmarks cited ~750 tps third‑party for Tendermint and hundreds of tps observed; design assumes zone failure and opts for loose hub trust rather than a universal security token.
