Why Cosmos?

Benefits of IBC interoperability.

Cosmos, the internet of blockchains, offers a robust ecosystem that is built on the premise of interoperability and cross-chain communication. With 50+ live zones (blockchains) in the Cosmos ecosystem and $100M+ monthly IBC volume, the opportunities across DeFi, gaming and NFTs on Cosmos are endless.

Recognizing the opportunity in the Cosmos ecosystem, some of the largest and most respected players in DeFi have already committed to building on Cosmos, and Nitro aims to make that process easier for apps already deployed on Solana.

We believe that the future of DeFi is multichain and interoperable, which positions Nitro at the intersection of the Solana and Cosmos ecosystems. The host of developer talent in Solana, the Sealevel Virtual Machine on Nitro, and the fast-growing Cosmos ecosystem create a unique combination for laying the foundation of the next powerhouse.

Nitro will play a key role in helping Solana dApps deploy on Cosmos through the first of its kind Solana Virtual Machine. This will help bridge capital, talent and innovation between the Solana and Cosmos ecosystems.
