The Cosmos network consists of many independent, parallel blockchains. The goal of Cosmos is to create an ‘Internet of Blockchains’ where different blockchains can interoperate with each other through a network. You can plug any Cosmos network and pass tokens back and forth between these different blockchains, without the need for an intermediary.
ATOM is the native token of the Cosmos network and is used to pay for transaction fees and can be staked to further secure the network and participate in governance decisions. By staking your ATOM tokens, you can also earn rewards in the form of newly minted ATOM tokens as well as a portion of the transaction fees collected.
