Cosmos is an ecosystem of independent blockchains connected through interoperability technology such as IBC. Instead of forcing every application onto one chain, the Cosmos approach allows projects to build specialized networks while still communicating across the wider ecosystem.
ATOM is the native token of the Cosmos Hub. The broader Cosmos ecosystem is larger than ATOM itself, so it is worth separating Hub activity from developments across other connected chains.
What tends to move Cosmos?
ATOM can react to governance changes, staking demand, Cosmos Hub development, IBC adoption, ecosystem growth and changes to how value is captured across connected chains.
