Awesome Cosmos Awesome

A community curated list of awesome projects related to the Cosmos ecosystem

The Cosmos SDK is a modular framework for building blockchain applications in Go. Gaia, the implementation of the Cosmos Hub, is built with the Cosmos SDK.

Core Components

Documentation

Client Libraries

Go

  • Ignite CLI - All-in-one platform to build, launch, and maintain any crypto application on a sovereign and secured blockchain. Quickly bootstraps a new Cosmos SDK blockchain with UI and support to create new and work conveniently with existing Cosmos SDK modules.

JavaScript

Python

  • cosmospy - Tools for Cosmos wallet management and offline transaction signing.
  • cosmpy - A Python client library for interacting with blockchains based on the Cosmos SDK.
  • pyCosmicWrap - A python3 wrapper around Cosmos API/RPC.

Rust

Block Explorers

Visual Block Explorers

View Inter-Blockchain Communication (IBC) transfer activity. The map traces IBC transactions between different blockchains (called zones in the Cosmos Hub) to display accurate aggregate information about the pulse of the entire Cosmos ecosystem.

Terminal Block Explorers

Explore Cosmos SDK blockchains via a terminal.

  • gex - GEX In-Terminal Explorer.
  • cshtop - Cosmos htop , Blocks visualizer on terminal.
  • pvtop - Consensus visualizer on terminal.

Chain Registry

A registry containing standardized metadata from most Cosmos chains.

Validators

Popular block explorers provide a list of active validators. The easiest entry point to view validator profiles is from a block explorer:

DYOR when choosing a validator. Consider delegating your tokens to validators outside of the top 20 to increase the decentralization of the network. This is also a good practice to avoid 0% commission validators and exchange validators.

Cosmos SDK Modules

The best place to find an accurate list of the Cosmos SDK modules is the project repository:

  • For a list of production-grade modules, see the List of Modules.
  • For a list of well-known third-party modules, see the Ecosystem section of the Cosmos SDK documentation.

Some modules are important but may still lack official documentation, like the genutil module that is essential to launch a chain. Please consider contributing documentation to the Cosmos SDK to help fill these gaps.

To share a module that you want the community to know about and use, add it here. You can also create a pull request (PR) to add the module to the official project.

Monitoring

  • PANIC Monitoring and Alerting For Blockchains - An open source monitoring and alerting solution for Cosmos SDK, Substrate, and Chainlink-based nodes.
  • Prometheus Exporter - An integrated Prometheus exporter for the Cosmos SDK.
  • Cosmos Chains Dashboard - A Grafana dashboard to monitor Cosmos SDK and Tendermint-based blockchain nodes.
  • cosmos-exporter - A Prometheus scraper that fetches the data from a full node of a Cosmos-based blockchain via gRPC.
  • missed-blocks-checker - Monitor missed blocks for Cosmos-chain validators with support for notifications to Telegram and Slack.
  • Nodes Checker - Check your nodes status online, receive instant notification if something is wrong with your validator node.
  • Cosmon - Observability tool for Cosmos and other Tendermint applications.
  • Tenderduty - Comprehensive monitoring tool for Tendermint chains. Its primary function is to alert a validator if they are missing blocks, and more.
  • UpgradesWatchdog - SoftwareUpgradeProposal & GitHub Releases telegram monitoring tool.
  • cosmos-node-exporter - A Prometheus exporter to scrape data on your node sync status, Cosmovisor upgrades and GitHub version mismatches, useful for node operators and validators.
  • cosmos-wallets-exporter - A Prometheus exporter to scrape data on wallets balance, useful to get notified if your wallet balance is too low.
  • cosmos-validators-exporter - A Prometheus exporter to scrape data about a validator (missed blocks, delegators count, total staked amount, rankings, etc.)

Indexers

  • Cosmscan - An indexer engine for Cosmos chains.

Frameworks

  • Cosmos SDK - A Framework for Building High Value Public Blockchains in Go.
