New Blockchain Investor Scorecard: Cosmos (ATOM)

We're happy to release our latest investor scorecard on Cosmos (ATOM).

While this is a new scorecard, Cosmos dates back to 2014. They published their initial whitepaper in 2016, and the ATOM token was launched in 2017.

Users can now earn ATOM through a hybrid proof-of-stake algorithm. ATOM staking secures the project’s flagship blockchain, Cosmos Hub, while also playing a role in the network’s governance.

So, why are people investing in ATOM aside from staking rewards -- and should you consider it??Read our Blockchain Investor Scorecard to find out.
