This dashboard only displays chains that have at least one active-set Cosmos Hub validator opted in.
Neutron is the only blockchain network specifically designed to support Integrated Applications. By granting contracts the power of an appchain, Neutron minimises development overhead, facilitates improved mechanism design, lowers risk and enhances the scalability of decentralised applications. Unlike typical smart contracts, Integrated Applications have access to components of the blockchain that exist outside of their virtual machine: begin and end block automation, mempools, transaction fee mechanisms, consensus votes, interchain transactions and queries, and more. Integrated Applications can customise their network's blockspace to provide gasless onboarding to newly acquired users and do away with network selectors to onboard deposits from any connected blockchain in a single click. They can deploy and manage capital and integrations across multiple chains, maximising network effects and the ubiquity of their denominations. These features allow Integrated Applications to establish stronger moats around their technology and business model, while providing a competitive edge that standard applications lack. This makes them inherently more attractive and competitive, as they operate on an enhanced platform offering higher performance and broader reach compared to traditional applications.
Stride is a layer one blockchain built with the CosmosSDK and connected with many other chains via the inter-blockchain communication protocol (IBC). Stride is purpose-built for a single function: cross-chain liquid staking. Stride is the leading liquid staking protocol for Celestia, Osmosis, dYdX, Cosmos Hub, and 10+ other blockchains. Liquid staking provides a simple way to earn staking rewards on your tokens while allowing you to use them in DeFi. In addition to providing liquid staking, Stride is also a bridging hub for the Celestia rollup ecosystem. TIA can't be bridged from Celestia directly to rollups, so it's bridged through Stride instead, using Stride's Hyperlane bridge deployment. This connects the Celestia rollup ecosystem, making any two rollups just one hop apart.
Dungeon Chain is a permissioned gaming blockchain designed to enhance the Cosmos Ecosystem and onboard non-crypto users into the crypto space. Leveraging the Cosmos Hub's shared security validator set, it will be one of the first permissionless chains launched using the Forge framework on Cosmos. Created by Crypto Dungeon—a Cosmos Ecosystem validator and game developer—Dungeon Chain aims to promote interchain collaboration and support the growth of the Cosmos community. Our inaugural interchain game Kosmic Quest will launch later this year, connecting nine different Cosmos blockchains. Designed for mobile devices, Kosmic Quest seeks to engage mobile gamers in a fun and secure environment while educating them about the advantages of crypto. We are committed to delivering an enjoyable and rewarding experience that showcases the benefits of web3 gaming while mitigating common pitfalls. Following the success of Kosmic Quest, we plan to assist others in developing their own interchain games.
