Since 2020, the most noticeable trend in the crypto space is that Ethereum has been unable to maintain its dominance due to scalability constraints.

Meanwhile, various new public blockchains have continued to emerge. Some of them have already acquired a large volume of usage and hosted a h...

When it comes to the topic of the Internet of Blockchains, the contributions of Cosmos and its founders cannot be ignored. In 2015, Jae Kwon and his collaborators created Tendermint ,...

One is that the code of the hub is simplified, so the security and reliability go higher. The other is that the hub will dedicate its limited capacity to process cross-chain transactions, thereby reducing the cost of cross-chain transactions.

The designers of Cosmos followed the 

Take a look at the real-world blockchain interconnection topology, and you can easily find that Ethereum is at the center of the Hub-and-Spoke network, with bridges connecting all important blockchains.

The motivation for doing that is not because Ethereum is minimal, but precisely because...
