Brand new to blockchain? Not a problem! Cosmos’s resources make it easy to learn. Check out the links below to get started:

What is a Blockchain? A blockchain can be described as a distributed digital ledger maintained by a set of validators that remains correct even if some of the validators (less than a third) are malicious.

What is Cosmos? Cosmos is an ecosystem of blockchains that can scale and interoperate with each other.

How Do I Build a Blockchain? Check out this webpage to learn all about the different tools available on Cosmos.

Ok, But What’s the Easiest Way to Build a Blockchain? That’s easy, use Starport! Starport is an open-source rapid prototyping tool that lets developers quickly build a new blockchain with just two CLI commands.
