Cosmos is the blockchain protocol that creates a new web in the ecosystem. It has some similarities to Ethereum with its Turing-complete clever contract language. It focuses on building decentralized applications, but it also aims to be a platform for business collaboration with faster transactions, cheaper fees, and less energy consumption. The proposed governing system is called the ‘Polkadot network’, consisting of various layers and benefits from native interoperability with other blockchains. What is Polkadot and Cosmos? Cosmos is the blockchain protocol that creates a new web in the ecosystem. The proposed governing system is called the ‘Polkadot network,’ consisting of various layers and benefits from native interoperability with other blockchains. It has some similarities to Ethereum with its Turing-complete imaginative contract language. It focuses on building decentralized applications, but it also aims to be a platform for business collaboration with faster transactions, cheaper fees, and less energy consumption. Why do you need them? The idea behind Polkadot is that the blockchain ecosystem is becoming a cluttered jungle of systems, which in turn creates severe obstacles to interoperability for various projects. The Polkadot (or ‘parachain’) project proposes to solve this problem by creating a hub that can merge and reconcile different blockchains, providing a better way of token exchange. Instead of asking each blockchain to develop its memorable currency exchange and complex mechanism for data transfer between blockchains, the developers are trying to create an alternative blockchain that will act as a standard hub and allow seamless exchange between all the other existing chains. An overview of their differences: ​1. Differences in the protocol: Cosmos uses Tendermint as its primary consensus protocol, where the entire network of validators can change depending on which block gets added and validated. This allows for a more flexible network that is also self-healing in the case of a power outage or other issues with the underlying hardware. 2. Differences in idea: Cosmos is quite similar to Ethereum as it also focuses on fast transactions, smart contracts, and developing decentralized apps. The Polkadot developers want to provide a system for all blockchains to use, while Ethereum is more focused on building more sophisticated decentralized applications. 3. goal differences: Cosmos plans to create a platform that will allow businesses and other parties to collaborate freely. At the same time, Ethereum aims to create a platform for blue-chip companies and other large corporations who want an utterly autonomous blockchain with no outside influence. 4. Differences in the technology: Cosmos uses Tendermint as its primary consensus protocol, where the entire network of validators can change depending on which block gets added and validated. This allows for a more flexible network that is also self-healing in the case of a power outage or other issues with the underlying hardware.  Final verdict The developers of Polkadot are trying to create a platform for all blockchains, making it possible for them to merge and reduce their number. In turn, the Cosmos creators are trying to provide a protocol that would allow blockchain systems to communicate and collaborate. Both projects have their own goals and problems, so they’re pretty different.  As we can see, both of them are trying to achieve the same goals and solve the same problems, but they are also different in terms of technology, target audience, governance layer, and governance model. ​One thing is for sure: blockchain technology has already achieved a significant degree of maturity and provided many opportunities for businesses worldwide.
