Cosmos bills itself as a project that solves some of the “hardest problems” facing the blockchain industry. Called the "internet of blockchains", it aims to offer an antidote to “slow, expensive, unscalable, and environmentally harmful” proof-of-work protocols, like those used by Bitcoin, by offering an ecosystem of connected blockchains.
