Overview

Awesome Cosmos is a community‑curated “awesome list” of projects, tools, libraries, and resources across the Cosmos ecosystem. It focuses on the Cosmos SDK and related technologies for building app-specific blockchains in Go.

Features

Scope

• Curated directory of Cosmos-related projects and resources
• Focus on building blockchain applications with the Cosmos SDK (in Go)
• Includes both core protocol components and broader ecosystem tools
• Community-maintained with public contribution guidelines

Core Components

Links to major building blocks in the Cosmos stack:

• Cosmos Hub (Gaia) – Reference implementation of the Cosmos Hub
• Cosmos SDK – Modular framework for building Cosmos-based blockchains in Go
• IBC Go – Inter-Blockchain Communication implementation for Cosmos SDK chains
• CometBFT – Consensus and networking engine (Tendermint successor)
• CosmWasm – Smart contract platform for the Cosmos ecosystem
• CosmJS – JavaScript/TypeScript library suite for interacting with Cosmos chains
• Protobuf (Buf, Cosmos packages) – Protocol buffer definitions and tooling
• IAVL – Immutable AVL tree implementation used for state storage in Cosmos SDK
• ICS23 – Specification and implementation for commitment proofs

Documentation Resources

Centralized links to official and ecosystem documentation:

• Cosmos Developer Portal – Tutorials and guides for Cosmos development
• Interchain Developer Academy – Structured educational material for interchain devs
• Cosmos SDK Docs – Official documentation for the SDK
• IBC Docs – Documentation for Inter-Blockchain Communication
• CometBFT Docs – Documentation for the consensus engine
• Cosmos Hub Docs – Information and docs for the Cosmos Hub
• CosmWasm Docs – Smart contract development documentation
• Cosmology Learn – Educational content and guides from Cosmology

Client Libraries

Organized by language for application and tooling development.

Go

• Ignite CLI – Tooling to scaffold and manage Cosmos SDK blockchains:
  • Bootstraps new Cosmos SDK chains
  • Provides UI support
  • Supports creating and working with Cosmos SDK modules

JavaScript / TypeScript

• cosmos/cosmjs – Core JavaScript/TypeScript library for Cosmos interactions
• telescope – TypeScript library generator built on top of CosmJS
• chainapsis/cosmosjs – Signing and API library from Chainapsis
• cosmos-client/cosmos-client-ts – JS/TS client for Cosmos SDK blockchains
• cosmology-tech/chain-registry – npm package exposing the official Cosmos chain registry
• strangelove-ventures/graz – (partially listed; React/TS tooling for Cosmos wallets and dApps, per ecosystem context)

Additional Sections (Structure)

The list also organizes resources under many additional section headings (items not fully shown in provided content but indicated by the table of contents):

• Block Explorers (visual and terminal)
• Chain Registry
• Validators
• Cosmos SDK Modules
• Monitoring
• Indexers
• Frameworks
• Virtual Machines
• IBC
• Testing
• Templates
• Tools (CLI, GUI, bots)
• Node Operations (and utilities)
• Ecosystem
• Wallets
• Blogs & Articles
• Related resources

These headings indicate that the repository is designed as a broad entry point into most categories of Cosmos development and operations tooling.

Community & Governance

• Open contribution model via a public Contributing guide
• Acknowledgment of community contributors
• Explicit disclaimer that the list is community-maintained and not an official statement from any entity
