Gaia is the first implementation of the Cosmos Hub, built using the Cosmos SDK. Gaia and other fully sovereign Cosmos SDK blockchains interact with one another using a protocol called IBC that enables Inter-Blockchain Communication.
Check out contributing.md for our guidelines & policies for how we develop the Cosmos Hub. Thank you to all those who have contributed!
Documentation for the Cosmos Hub lives at hub.cosmos.network.
We have active, helpful communities on Twitter, Discord, and Telegram.
With each version of the Cosmos Hub, the chain is restarted from a new Genesis state.
Mainnet is currently running as cosmoshub-4
. Archives of the state of cosmoshub-1
, cosmoshub-2
, and cosmoshub-3
are available here.
If you are looking for historical genesis files and other data cosmos/mainnet
is an excellent resource.
