How to buy Cosmos

ATOM

Originally launched in 2016, Cosmos is one of the first proof-of-stake blockchains. It focuses on improving ease-of-use and compatibility between different blockchains. The ATOM native token is staked by validators in order to process transactions. You can buy and sell ATOM for any major cryptocurrency, like BTC, ETH, and XRP or traditional currency such as Canadian Dollar, US Dollar, and Euro. Trading cryptocurrencies is like foreign exchange of traditional currencies – you trade ATOM for BTC the same way you trade CAD for USD. You can also trade ATOM to CAD based on the ATOM price.

Developers Jae Kwon and Ethan Buchman co-founded the Cosmos network in 2014. Cosmos aims to create an Internet of Blockchains – basically, a network of interconnected blockchains built for the decentralized future. Blockchains historically work in silos. They are hard to build and can only handle a small amount of transactions per second. Cosmos solves these problems with a new technical vision – by allowing them to run on their own dedicated blockchains.

You may want to consider buying ATOM if you would like to:

Diversify your portfolio by introducing a variety of cryptocurrency assets

Earn rewards by staking your crypto on the Cosmos network

Keep the Cosmos network secure and benefit from interoperability between blockchains

Exchange it for cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin to buy and sell goods online
