What is Cosmos Hub?

Cosmos, often called the “Internet of Blockchains,” aims to create a network of interconnected blockchains that can communicate with each other in a decentralized way. Launched in 2019, Cosmos solves issues of scalability and interoperability, making it easier for different blockchains to work together. ATOM, the native cryptocurrency of Cosmos, is used to secure the network and facilitate transactions between interconnected chains. This unique approach helps streamline blockchain interactions, paving the way for a more connected crypto ecosystem. Learn more about Cosmos in our workshops!

Common questions about Cosmos Hub

Real questions, plain answers. If you have one we missed, write us and we'll add it.

Is ATOM safe? +

ATOM itself is a public network — no single company runs it, which is part of what makes it trustworthy. The risk people usually mean is price: ATOM can move sharply in a single day. Only put in what you'd be comfortable losing while you learn.

Is ATOM a good investment for beginners? +

No one can promise that — ATOM's price can rise or fall sharply, and past performance is never a guarantee. What you can control is how you invest: many beginners buy a small amount on a regular schedule (called dollar-cost averaging) instead of trying to time the market, and only invest what they can afford to lose. Treat ATOM as a long-term way to learn, not a get-rich-quick bet.

Can I buy a small amount? +

Yes. You can start with as little as €1 of ATOM. You don't need to buy a whole coin — they're divisible to many decimal places.

Where is my ATOM stored? +

When you buy through CryptoUnity, your ATOM is held in BitGo-secured custody — the same provider used by major institutions. You can also withdraw it to your own wallet at any time.

What can I actually do with it? +

You can hold it (many people do, hoping the price rises over time), send it to friends or merchants who accept it, or trade it for other coins. Inside the app you can also set up a weekly auto-buy.
