What is Cosmos Network ?

Cosmos Network is a blockchain network architecture run by Interchain Foundation. The company is headquartered in Zug, Switzerland and was founded in 2016 by Ethan Buchman and Jae Kwon.

The end goal of Cosmos Network was to create an Internet of Blockchains, a network of blockchains able to communicate. At the moment, a blockchain tends to act as its own universe with almost no way to communicate with the world outside of its network, without third-party.

This is why Cosmos Network came to try creating the foundation for a new token economy.

How to stake Atoms using stake2earn 🌜?

1. Access Cosmostation Wallet

Cosmostation Wallet is a completely decentralized mobile wallet developed for users to conveniently and securely interact with the Cosmos Hub without the risk of possibly exposing your account information to external entities. You can use Cosmostation Wallet in the web version or directly downloading the mobile version from App Store or Play Store.

The next steps apply only for the web version.

4. Set your PIN

You will be asked to set your PIN which you will have to use every time you want to make a transaction during this session.

Make sure you remember this PIN as it cannot be reset or recovered. If you do forget your current PIN, you can always logout your wallet and next time, you will need to set another PIN. Every session has its own PIN.
