An Introduction to Evmos

In the Cosmos ecosystem, Evmos is a decentralized proof of stake blockchain. It is built on the Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM), hence it is fully compatible with the Ethereum network. Evmos’ mission is to bring Ethereum-based apps and assets to the Cosmos ecosystem’s interoperable networks while harmonizing developer and user incentives and attempting to innovate in the EVM and interchain composability sector.

Evmos is a Cosmos-based blockchain that uses the Cosmos SDK and Tendermint Core consensus to provide speedy finality and high throughput. Developers may deploy Ethereum-based apps in the Tendermint consensus environment with lower transaction costs, better transaction speeds, and the security of proof of stake consensus by using Ethereum’s EVM.
