# Cosmos

[Cosmos](https://docs.cosmos.network/main/user/run-node/run-node) is a public proof-of-stake blockchain built on a Byzantine Fault Tolerant (BFT) consensus mechanism. Its Cosmos Hub connects blockchains, enabling asset and data exchange via the Inter-Blockchain Communication (IBC) protocol.

With Blockdaemon’s Dedicated Cosmos Nodes, you get reliable, secure infrastructure without the overhead. Choose from single or clustered Dedicated Nodes, fully managed for flexible, scalable, and secure node deployment.
