Introduction to Cosmos Framework

• Basic understanding of blockchain concepts
• Familiarity with programming languages (preferably Go)

Audience

• Developers
• Software engineers
• Technical leads

The Cosmos framework, often referred to simply as "Cosmos," is an advanced framework for building scalable, interoperable blockchain applications. It is designed to solve some of the most challenging issues in the blockchain space, such as scalability, usability, and interoperability.

This instructor-led, live training (online or onsite) is aimed at beginner-level developers who wish to learn how to use Cosmos framework to develop applications using the Cosmos SDK and understanding the Tendermint consensus algorithm.

By the end of this training, participants will be able to:

• Understand the fundamentals and architecture of the Cosmos framework.
• Develop and deploy blockchain applications using the Cosmos SDK.
• Implement custom modules and interact with the Tendermint consensus algorithm.
• Utilize the IBC protocol for cross-chain communication.
• Apply best practices for security, scaling, and performance in Cosmos applications.

Format of the Course

• Interactive lecture and discussion.
• Lots of exercises and practice.
• Hands-on implementation in a live-lab environment.
