The Cosmos Network: How to Become a Validator on the Internet of Blockchains
The Cosmos Network is perhaps one of the most anticipated projects of this year and is actively preparing for launch. The goal of the project is to create an "Internet Blockchains," a global and scalable ecosystem of independent, parallel blockchains compatible with one another that will interact through the main blockchain of the Cosmos Hub. This network will be deployed on the basis of the Byzantine-fault-tolerant (BFT) Tendermint PoS (Proof-of-Stake) consensus protocol. The developers of the Tendermint protocol are also participating in the development of the Cosmos Network project. A key role in this consensus algorithm is played by validators, the network members who maintain its work efficiency, participate in voting and form new blocks in the blockchain
