These ‘ATOM'ic changes could change the course of Cosmos for good. Here's why

Cosmos ATOM made it to the list of top inter-blockchain communication (IBC) protocol projects as of 18 October. According to the data at hand, ATOM's weekly active users surpassed all other cryptocurrencies that made it to the list.

Timeline of Cosmos

There are a lot of different cryptocurrency projects out there, and it can be tough to decide which ones to invest in. If you're looking for some solid options, we would recommend Cosmos (ATOM), Stellar (XLM), and Snowfall Protocol (SNW).

Polygon was one of Tuesday's notable gainers, as the token rose to its highest point since mid-September. Today's surge saw prices of the cryptocurrency rise for a third straight session. Cosmos also extended recent gains, climbing to its strongest point in recent days.

ATOM's price shows strength as price breaks bounced off from $12 with good volume with eyes set to reclaim $13.  ATOM breaks out of a downtrend as the price resumes a bullish structure.

The performance of the global crypto market has seen a negative trend due to continuing losses. The recent data for Bitcoin, Binance Coin, and others show a continuation of losses.

Cosmos is now making sure their system won't share the same fate as the BNB Chain that was drained of $100 million worth of tokens in a hacker attack last week. On October 13th, Ethan Buchman, co-founder of the Cosmos inter-blockchain communication (IBC) ecosystem, revealed a major security weak point that affects all Cosmos chains that utilize IBC, regardless of the version of IBC they employ.

Co-founder of the inter-blockchain communication (IBC) ecosystem Cosmos, Ethan Buchman, announced the existence of a “critical security vulnerability” on 13 October that affects all Cosmos chains which support IBC and all IBC versions.

Xrp rebounded from recent drops in price on Friday, as the token surged by nearly 10% in today's session. Cosmos was another notable gainer, as it snapped a four-day losing streak. Overall, cryptocurrency markets were mostly higher, with the global market cap up nearly 5% as of writing.

Cosmos (CRYPTO: ATOM) has blazed its path in blockchain by approaching the blockchain equation not with a single star blockchain but with its stated "internet of blockchains," with Cosmos hub providing the infrastructure for each team to build its project on a dedicated chain that suits its particular needs. One of their most high-profile use cases is Crypto.com, one of the world's most popular crypto wallets with over 50 million users.

Cosmos co-founder Ethan Buchman announced that a patch would be deployed on all major public Inter-Blockchain Communication (IBC)-enabled chains by tomorrow after they identified a vulnerability that may lead to a potential exploit via a blog post on October 13. The post Cosmos, Osmosis to deploy patch on all major public IBC chains to fix potential exploit appeared first on CryptoSlate.

Cosmos developers have discovered a critical vulnerability in the cosmos ecosystem. According to Ethan Buchman, co-founder of Cosmos, the critical security vulnerability puts all IBC-enabled blockchains at risk.
