Nxt is an open source blockchain platform and the first to rely entirely on a proof-of-stake consensus protocol. Launched in November 2013 and written from scratch in Java, Nxt is proof that blockchain technology is not only about simple transfer of value but also has the potential to revolutionize many aspects of our lives with the various decentralized applications that can be built with it. Today, Nxt remains one of the most tested and reliable platforms in the industry, influencing numerous other projects. With its many easy to use modular built-in features, Nxt covers most of the dApp use cases and at the same time is perfectly suitable for private blockchain implementations. Nxt was the first to implement a pure proof-of-stake consensus protocol.

The Internet of Blockchains. Cosmos is an ever-expanding ecosystem of interconnected apps and services, built for a decentralized future. Enter a new universe of connected services. Cosmos apps and services connect using IBC, the Inter-Blockchain Communication protocol. This innovation enables you to freely exchange assets and data across sovereign decentralized blockchains. Serving as the economic center of Cosmos, the Cosmos Hub is a blockchain that provides vital services to the Interchain. Set to operate a next-gen decentralized exchange, swapping digital assets from across the Interchain, with very low fees and instant transaction confirmation. With the upcoming Interchain Staking feature, ATOM will soon be securing many chains, in exchange for additional staking rewards. A core mission of the Hub – to connect chains by establishing IBC connections with compatible chains and operating decentralized bridges with chains like Ethereum and Bitcoin.
