TX Blockchain — Built on Cosmos SDK
TX is a sovereign Layer 1 blockchain powered by the Cosmos SDK and Tendermint BFT consensus. It enables fast, low-cost transactions with native cross-chain interoperability through the IBC protocol. Stake TX, build dApps, and participate in decentralized governance.
TX is a purpose-built Layer 1 blockchain designed for speed, security, and interoperability. It is built using the Cosmos SDK, the same modular framework that powers Cosmos Hub, Osmosis, and dozens of other sovereign chains.
By leveraging the Cosmos SDK, TX benefits from a battle-tested consensus engine (Tendermint BFT), a modular architecture that allows custom modules to be added without forking, and native access to the IBC protocol for cross-chain communication.
TX is governed by its token holders through on-chain governance. Validators and delegators can propose and vote on protocol upgrades, parameter changes, and community fund allocations.

Built on the modular Cosmos SDK framework
The Inter-Blockchain Communication (IBC) protocol is the backbone of cross-chain functionality in the Cosmos ecosystem. TX supports IBC natively, which means tokens and data can flow between TX and any other IBC-enabled chain without centralized bridges or wrapped tokens.
IBC works by establishing light-client-verified connections between two chains. Once a channel is opened, packets containing token transfers, oracle data, or arbitrary messages can be relayed trustlessly. This architecture means TX users can access liquidity on Osmosis, leverage Cosmos Hub security, and interact with DeFi protocols across the ecosystem.
Trust-Minimized
No centralized bridge operators. IBC relies on light client proofs verified on-chain.
Universal
Compatible with 50+ Cosmos chains. Send tokens across ecosystems seamlessly.
Composable
Chain-to-chain smart contract calls enable cross-chain dApp composability.

About This Tool
TX is a Cosmos SDK-based proof-of-stake blockchain in the broader Cosmos ecosystem. Cosmos SDK provides a modular framework for building application-specific chains; Tendermint (now CometBFT) handles consensus. Sovereign chains can interoperate via IBC, the inter-blockchain communication protocol.
This guide explains TX's role, validator set, native token, and how it connects to the staking and reward infrastructure on tokns.fi.
The Cosmos SDK was released in 2019 by the Tendermint team to make building app-specific blockchains practical. Instead of one chain hosting many applications (the Ethereum model), each application gets its own chain optimized for its workload. Consensus is handled by CometBFT (formerly Tendermint Core), a Byzantine fault tolerant algorithm that produces blocks every few seconds with instant finality — no waiting for confirmations. Validators stake the native token and produce blocks in proportion to their stake; misbehavior (double-signing, prolonged downtime) results in slashing. IBC, the inter-blockchain communication protocol, lets sovereign chains move tokens and data between each other through trustless light-client relayers, creating an internet of blockchains.
A worked example: TX validators run nodes maintaining a copy of the chain state and proposing blocks in turn. A delegator who stakes 10,000 TX with a validator charging 5% commission earns roughly the chain's annual reward rate (typically 10–15% APR for Cosmos chains) minus the commission — net 9.5–14.25%. Rewards accrue per block and can be claimed at any time. Unbonding (withdrawing stake) takes 21 days during which the tokens earn nothing and can't be transferred. This unbonding period exists to prevent long-range attacks where a withdrawn validator could attempt to sign an alternative history.
Limitations: this guide is informational, not financial advice. Validator selection matters — choose validators with consistent uptime (above 99%), reasonable commission (5–10% is the typical band), and a public identity that suggests longevity. A validator that gets slashed for double-signing can lose 5% of delegated stake immediately; one that misses too many blocks loses smaller amounts. Token price volatility dwarfs staking yield over short timeframes — earning 12% APR while the underlying token drops 50% is a net loss. Cosmos chains are sovereign and individually responsible for security; smaller chains have correspondingly smaller security budgets.
