What are Cosmos and ATOM?
Cosmos is a blockchain network built around interoperability: Independent blockchains, often called zones, can connect and share data or tokens. The Cosmos Hub is the first blockchain in the Cosmos Network, and ATOM is its native token.
ATOM is used on the Cosmos Hub for governance and validator participation. Validators use ATOM to help process transactions and support the network, while holders can use ATOM to take part in governance under the network’s rules.

Can you buy a fraction of Cosmos (ATOM)?
You don’t need to buy a whole Cosmos at once. US customers can buy fractional amounts, with purchases from as little as US$1.
This can help if you want to choose a specific dollar amount instead of matching the price of one full token. Before confirming, check the asset, payment method and dollar amount in the App.
