Cosmos Eco IBC has integrated 38 chains

In 2022, the concept of "modularity" once became a hot topic of discussion in Crypto circles, and Cosmos, which is called the cross-chain duo alongside Boca, has also attracted market discussion and attention, for example, the research institute Decoin Research Institute published a report on 2022 in early January For example, in early January, Decoin Research Institute published an analysis report on the ecology of Cosmos in 2022.

Cosmos is committed to becoming the "Internet of blockchain", and the development path of mainstream public chains (such as BSC and Avalanche) shows that the status of the online blockchain network within the Cosmos ecosystem is particularly crucial to its development. Through Cosmos SDK (a modular framework), Cosmos supports developers to easily build proprietary application chains (called zones in Cosmos) for Dapp. By accessing IBC (Interchain Communication Protocol), the application chain can interoperate with other chains in the Cosmos ecosystem that have access to IBC, thus building the Cosmos multi-chain ecosystem.

According to the data of Map of zones, a website that counts the application chains of Cosmos ecology, this paper PANews researches on Cosmos ecology and finds that

Cosmos ecology has taken shape, and the network of application chains connected through IBC in the ecology has reached 38.

The application chains integrated by Cosmos ecological IBC involve about 12 segments, covering DeFi, connecting DeFi and CeFi, Web3, social, smart contract public chain, NFT, privacy, cross-chain, infrastructure and memecoin.

Although Cosmos ecology has taken shape, most of the blockchain network is still in the early stage of development, and the number of Dapp on the chain is small and limited in function. In the future, PANews needs to continue to pay attention to the ecological development of each application chain within Cosmos ecology, please download the APP and pay attention to the author's continuous attention.
