cosmos-sdk VS tendermint

Protocols like Polkadot and Cosmos focus on making blockchains inherently interoperable. They create ecosystems where chains can share data and assets natively.

This is a old known issue called "clipping" in the Cosmos SDK that happens when a validator was previously jailed and slashed: https://github.com/cosmos/cosmos-sdk/issues/5282

💡 GasMultiplier Instead of specifying the gas price, you may use the "gas": "auto” so that the blockchain application automatically estimates gas for you before submitting the transaction into the network for consensus with the estimate. This is why we include the gasMultiplier. By providing the gas multiplier you are specifying that the gas estimate should be multiplied by this number to account for possible changes in the gas fee estimate and the eventual gas fee. See The estimate is not always the exact gas required for the transaction execution.

Shido is now listed on cosmos.network. Shido Chain is interoperable with all chains and dApps in the Cosmos for value sharing and joint liquidity through the IBC Protocol.

We have pinned this post to bring information front and center on the Cosmos Network Project and its evolution into the Internet of Blockchains. A new Interchain Era is here, bringing interoperability, scalability, and mass adoption to the Cosmos Ecosystem!

Cosmos (ATOM) is a dPoS blockchain. Often it is named in the list of 3rd generation blockchains like ADA, DOT, ALGO, etc. As one can already see it has a lot of competition. To be able to get a better view of ATOM it is to not describe what it is in itself but how it compares to its competitors.

The cosmos.network website is not indexed by Bing. Someone noticed this and created a scam website my-cosmos[.]network which is ranking very high for the search term "cosmos network"

Upgrade Cosmos-SDK to SDK v0.44 from SDK v0.42 For a full list of updates in Cosmos-SDK v0.44.3 please see its changelog. Noteable highlights include:\n - Authz - Allows granting arbitrary privileges from one account (the granter) to another account (the grantee). \n- New modules:\n - Bech32IBC - Allows auto-routing of send msgs to addresses on other chains, once configured by governance. Allows you to do a bank send on Osmosis to a cosmos1... address, and it is automatically sent to the corresponding Cosmos Hub address over IBC. This is a big step in enabling more seemless IBC UX.\n - TxFees - Enables validators to easily accept txfees in multiple assets, whitelisted by governance, by declaring minimum fees in OSMO. Alternative fee assets are converted to their OSMO value, using the spot price on their primary OSMO base pair pool. This upgrade pre-whitelists all the assets currently supported on the Osmosis frontend with an OSMO basepair pool.\n- Implements Proposal 32 - Clawback of unclaimed Osmo and Ion on airdrop end date. (December 15th, 5PM UTC)\n- Upgrade IBC from a standalone module in the SDK to IBC v2. This improves the utility of Ethereum Bridges and Cosmwasm bridges.\n- Blocking OFAC banned ETH addresses \n- Numerous minor bug fixes, gas fixes, and significant speedups.

Tendermint Core / CometBFT — a state machine replication engine (written in Go);

There are good use-cases, but to much focus on cryptocurrencies. Frameworks are not well designed to be used in other use-cases. Best that I have found that doesn't forces you to a specific architecture is Tendermint, but is not even close to state-of-the-art performance and scalability. Everything else is designed around cryptocurrency and smart contracts.

BFT is an algorithm that ensures that the whole network works well even if a few members are acting fraudulently. As long as these fraudulent members are less than 33% of those who have voting power, the network will work fine. Those with voting power are those with something at stake. Cosmos uses a type of BFT consensus engine known as Tendermint. Cosmos uses Tendermint because it provides the best support for building POS blockchains.

Relevant Github ticket showing chains are now scrambling to decide which fork to use: https://github.com/tendermint/tendermint/issues/9972

BlockX is based on Tendermint Core, which relies on a set of validators that are responsible for committing new blocks in the blockchain. These validators participate in the consensus protocol by broadcasting votes which contain cryptographic signatures signed by each validator's private key.

Built with Cosmos and Tendermint.

Haqq is a scalable, high-throughput Proof-of-Stake blockchain that is fully compatible and interoperable with Ethereum. It's built using the Cosmos SDK which runs on top of Tendermint Core consensus engine.Haqq allows for running vanilla Ethereum as a Cosmos application-specific blockchain. This allows developers to have all the desired features of Ethereum, while at the same time, benefit from Tendermint’s PoS implementation. Also, because it is built on top of the Cosmos SDK, it will be able to exchange value with the rest of the Cosmos Ecosystem through the Inter Blockchain Communication Protocol (IBC)Features
