Generating wallets
To create a Cosmos wallet using BitGoJS:
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11
bitgo .coin('tatom') .wallets() .generateWallet({ label: 'My Test Wallet', passphrase: 'secretpassphrase1a5df8380e0e30', }) .then(function (wallet) { // print the new wallet console.dir(wallet); });
To create a Cosmos wallet using the platform API:
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8
LABEL="My Test Wallet" PASSPHRASE="secretpassphrase1a5df8380e0e30" curl -X POST \ -H "Content-Type: application/json" \ -H "Authorization: Bearer $ACCESS_TOKEN" \ -d "{ \"label\": \"$LABEL\", \"passphrase\": \"$PASSPHRASE\" }" \ http://$BITGO_EXPRESS_HOST:3080/api/v2/tatom/wallet/generate

Staking
- Cosmos supports staking. Cosmos uses a delegated proof-of-stake (DPoS) consensus mechanism. Atom holders can stake their tokens to validators.
- Validators participate in consensus to produce new blocks and validate transactions.
- By staking Atoms, holders can earn rewards.
Balances
Atom is the native asset of Cosmos. The base unit of Atom is uatom
(microatom).
- 1 Atom = 1,000,000 uatom
- 1 uatom = 0.000001 Atom
To check the balance of a wallet:
1 2 3
const address = yield walletInstance.getAddress({ address: 'TTwW9apvyVL9EBqDVeTVDft15hf1Jnkpzy' }); const bal = address.balance; return bal;
Tokens
Cosmos does not support tokens transactions.
Consolidation
We are supporting memo based addresses. Therefore, consolidation is not required.
Fee rate
The default gas fee is 0.35 uatom
