What is Cosmos (atom)?

Cosmos (ATOM) is a decentralized network of blockchains like Polkadot and Ethereum that considers itself as creating an "Internet of Blockchains" (IoB). Leveraging the integration between multiple chains allows for powerful functionality and multi-layer dapp development. The network uses a token called ATOM for staking and rewards.
