What is Cosmos Hub (ATOM)?
Cosmos Hub is an innovative blockchain network aimed at promoting communication between various independent blockchains, referred to as zones. Employing classical Byzantine fault-tolerant (BFT) consensus protocols like Tendermint, this network embraces a flexible adaptation of the Bitcoin sidechains concept by leveraging BFT and Proof-of-Stake rather than Proof-of-Work. By connecting new zones to the Cosmos hub, it enables applications and cryptocurrencies to interact smoothly, facilitating token exchanges without middlemen.
What is an ATOM wallet?
An ATOM wallet is responsible for the secure storage of your private keys, which are essential for accessing and managing your ATOM address. Unlike a common misconception, the wallet does not hold the ATOM tokens themselves; these are recorded on the blockchain. The wallet’s core function is to generate and retain private keys, allowing you to manage your ATOM accounts, send, receive, and handle your cryptocurrency.
How does an ATOM wallet work?
ATOM wallets operate through the use of public and private key pairs to control blockchain accounts. The private key, which is crucial for accessing your ATOM account, should always remain confidential, whereas the public key is shared to receive ATOM. Withdrawing funds necessitates the private key. Tangem Wallet supports this by generating and storing private keys within its chip securely.
