Cosmos is a cross-chain protocol that is working to establish a standardized way for blockchains to inter-operate. It has been called the internet of blocchains. Cosmos is building a standardized protocol for multiple blockchains to operate freely together, and allow transfers of value between them. Cosmos is made up of a network of blocckhains called zones. Each of these zones will be powered by a the Tendermint consensus protocol. Cosmos will act as a hub, that ties the zones together and manages their coordination. The Cosomos token called ATOM was released in an ICO that raised $53 million, but it will not be traded until the platform is launched.
| Hshare is the token that was released in an ICO for the development of the Hcash (Hyper Cash) project. Hcash will be a dual-chain cryptocurrency that will have a side chain for both blockchain-based and other decentralized networks. Hcash is a community driven platform that is designed to exchange value and data across these platforms. Hcash's dual sidechain consists of a blockchain and a Directed Acyclic Graph (DAG) network. It's designed to facilitate exchanges of value between blockchain-based and non-blockchain decentralized systems with a high degree of privacy and encryption. Hcash's dual networks will offer addresses that are inter-operable with other common cryptocurrencies, allowing users to send and receive various currencies in their Hcash wallet.
Hcash has a hybrid PoW and PoS consensus algorithm that combines verification and governance features of both mechanisms.
