Cosmos is a decentralized network of independent, scalable, and interoperable blockchains, creating an ecosystem where highly customizable and performant chains can seamlessly communicate and transact across each other. 

Cosmos aims to overcomes the weaknesses that traditional blockchains sometimes face by creating an ecosystem of interconnected blockchains. As such, the network is designed to address three primary challenges—scalability, usability, and interoperability—and it’s credited with pioneering the “app-chains” model accordingly. 

In powering independent parallel blockchains, Cosmos allows for high transaction throughput and enables different projects to retain their sovereignty while still being able to interact with other chains in the network.
