Blockchain infrastructure firm BisonTrails has launched support for the Cosmos ecosystem, allowing its clients to stake and run nodes for blockchain ecosystem Cosmos.<\/p>\n

BIson Trails offers services to simplify the process of participating in blockchains, such as staking and running full nodes. The firm\u2019s customers include custodians, exchanges, and funds, with Bison also helping Web 3.0 applications connect to blockchain data. The firm partnered with Coinbase in January to offer services under the U.S. exchange’s umbrella.<\/p>\n

Bison\u2019s customers can now use the firm\u2019s infrastructure to stake and delegate their tokens using \u201cparticipation clusters,\u201d earning transaction fees and rewards while securing the Cosmos network. <\/p>\n

Bison\u2019s participation clusters feature two components to enhance security \u2014 validator nodes that are hosted in a private network, and \u201csentry nodes\u201d that interface between said validator nodes and the public blockchain network. The clusters are deployed using remote hardware security modules to ensure validators\u2019 private keys do not interact with the public internet. The announcement said:<\/p>\n

\u201cThe participation clusters themselves are architected to withstand attacks. The sentry nodes act as a layer of defense to the validator nodes, enabling them to stay hidden and private from the public internet, and mitigating the risk of DDoS and remote access attacks.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Bison Trails will also offer several node services, including full QT nodes, archival nodes, and light client support.<\/p>\n

Cosmos comprises a decentralized ecosystem of parallel blockchains based on Cosmos\u2019 open-source Tendermint protocol, facilitating intercommunication between the parallel chains.<\/p>\n

Last month, Cosmos launched its Inter-Blockchain Communication<\/a> protocol, or IBC, Stargate, to facilitate interoperability between the blockchains built using Cosmos\u2019 Software\u2019 Development and other blockchain networks.<\/p>\n

As anticipation for the Stargate release built heading into February, Cosmos\u2019 ATOM token surged into new all-time highs above $10, before rallying to $26 when the protocol went live on Feb. 18. ATOM has since retraced nearly 30% to currently trade for $18.50.<\/p>\n
