About Cosmos
Cosmos Hub uses CometBFT (formerly Tendermint) consensus with ~6-second block times. ATOM is its native staking and governance token. IBC (Inter-Blockchain Communication) is the protocol that connects Cosmos Hub to dozens of other chains (Osmosis, Celestia, dYdX, Injective, and many more).
Cosmos addresses use a human-readable prefix — cosmos1... for the Hub, different prefixes for each chain. Memo fields are supported and are used by some exchanges for deposit routing.
How to swap Cosmos without KYC
- Hold ATOM in a Cosmos wallet (Keplr, Leap, Ledger with Cosmos app).
- Open the widget, ATOM as send, pick destination. Check whether your destination requires a memo.
- Send, receive.
