About Cosmos Hub

Cosmos is the Internet of Blockchains. Creator of InterBlockchain Communication Protocol IBC. Cosmos is an ever-expanding ecosystem of interconnected apps and services, built for a decentralized future.

Cosmos Hub is a chain that serves as an economic hub of the interchain and service provider to other Cosmos chains. Built with the interchain stack, the Hub is home to the ATOM token, Interchain Security, and builders of Cosmos SDK, Tendermint, and IBC.

How is Lava supporting Cosmos Hub?

Wallets and dapps built on Cosmos Hub can use Lava’s testnet to get direct access to data from Cosmos Hub using an RPC endpoint.

Here’s how any developer will be able to trustlessly access Cosmos Hub data with Lava’s SDK, currently supporting REST API, URI/HTTP, JSON-RPC.

Apply for early access to our testnet via Discord.

The benefits of using Lava RPC as a developer

By decentralizing RPC, Lava offers many benefits for developers:

• Decentralized redundancy for high uptime - By being connected to multiple leading RPC providers, apps benefit from 99.99% uptime. The protocol also rewards providers according to their latency, freshness, and availability.
• Open-Source - Lava is open-source and transparent, shortening the procurement process for apps looking to integrate. Anyone can also contribute to the protocol and the appchain, so developers can verify that the network is secure and reliable.
• Private relays -  Relay requests are routed per epoch to a random and constantly shuffled list of providers, so any user RPC queries going through the network cannot be profiled.
• Maximum Scalability - Lava incentivizes network redundancy and runs on a highly scalable appchain, so your app can handle high periods of traffic.
• Consensus-Based Data Integrity - Data accuracy, consistency and freshness are preserved by a consensus mechanism which detects and resolves conflicts. Poor service or attempts to manipulate data are caught and disincentivized, with providers staking and signing responses so that they can held accountable.
• Any Chain, Any API - Change your configuration to access any chain and any API served by the network.
