Steemit Crypto Academy | Season 2: Blockchain and Platforms by @alphafx|| Comparing COSMOS and EOS Blockchain Platform

> Give a detailed comparison between two blockchain platforms of your choice.

Thanks to @alphafx for the class which discussed "Blockchain and Platforms". In this post, I will be differentiating between two blockchain platforms; Cosmos (ATOM) and EOS.

COSMOS (ATOM)

Cosmos (ATOM), reffered to as internet of blockchain is aimed at solving the interaction between two or more blockchain. Cosmos basically works on bringing together different blockchain platform thereby serving as a point of contact between them all. giving them the ability to share their data, communicate and mostly transact with each other without any constraint.

Cosmos, helps to solve the lack of interoperability in the market between blockchains which makes it difficult to exchange coins since each blockchain stand alone but with Cosmos, each blockchain can co-exist with each other.

How cosmos (Atom)works

Cosmos makes sure the blockchain network is operating and interacting with one another using several protocols to momitor activities. Protocols such as Zone, and Cosmos hub.

Cosmos (ATOM) uses the Tendermint BFT engine consensus mechanism which uses the proof-of-stake (PoS) governance mechanism.

EOS

EOS which can be said to be built to house dApps for individuals and organizations alike, it also aims to make transactions faster, secures, and free while solving scalability problems.

How does EOS work

Eos uses the DPOS consensus mechanism which allows for faster transactions. Transaction are done In a block within 3 seconds whereas making the transaction performed in each block to be fast other thank the normal blockchain coin.

Differences between EOS and COSMOS (ATOM)

• Cosmos functions as the bridge between different blockchian ledgers thereby bringing them to function with one another, EOS on the other hand is a blockchain that allows for the creation of Dapps on a blockchain operating system.

• Cosmos native coin is called Atom while EOSIO native coin is EOS.

• Transaction fees on cosmos is low when processing a transaction while EOS allows for free transactions when users stake CPU and RAM.

• COSMOS uses Tendermint BFT engine consensus mechanism while EOS uses Delegated Proof of Stake.

• Cosmos was founded in 2016 and EOS was founded in 2017.
