🤔 — Why should you be interested in the Cosmos Hub


The Cosmos Hub is built using the Cosmos SDK and compiled to a binary called gaiad (Gaia Daemon). The Cosmos Hub and other fully sovereign Cosmos SDK blockchains interact with one another using a protocol called IBC that enables Inter-Blockchain Communication. In order to understand what the Cosmos Hub is you can read this introductory explanation.
