Cosmos

name: Cosmos
description: Cosmos is an interoperable blockchain ecosystem providing a modular framework (Cosmos SDK) for building sovereign,
  high-performance application-specific blockchains. The Cosmos SDK exposes LCD (Light Client Daemon) REST APIs on port 1317,
  generated automatically via gRPC-gateway from Protobuf definitions. These endpoints cover accounts, balances, transactions,
  governance proposals, staking delegations, IBC transfers, minting, distribution, and ABCI app data. The Cosmos Hub (cosmoshub-4)
  is the flagship chain; the same API surface is shared by 150+ chains in the ecosystem.
