WHY
A chain designed for the long run.
Familiar for builders
Full EVM support for Solidity, MetaMask, Hardhat, Foundry and ethers.js. Deploy existing contracts without rewriting a line.
Final in one block
CometBFT treats a block as final once two-thirds of validators commit it. Under its honest-majority assumptions there are no reorgs, so exchanges and apps can rely on a committed block.
Owned by its holders
Rewards, fees and burn rate change only by on-chain vote, inside limits written into the protocol itself.
APPLICATIONS
What you can build on Cockroach.
Full EVM support, one-block finality and native IBC cover the use cases people build blockchains for.
DeFi
Swaps, lending and vaults written in Solidity, settled final in one block.
Payments
Send and receive in about five seconds (design target), with fees that adjust predictably with demand rather than a fixed price.
Tokenization
Issue ERC-20 tokens for stablecoins, real-world assets or loyalty points.
NFTs and gaming
Mint collectibles and in-game items without fees that swing with demand.
DAOs
Run treasuries and on-chain votes, and call the governance module from a contract.
Cross-chain apps
Move assets to and from other Cosmos chains natively over IBC.
Staking products
Build delegation dashboards and staking tools on the staking precompile.
Identity and records
Anchor certificates, credentials and proofs on-chain that anyone can verify.
ARCHITECTURE
Ethereum on top. Cosmos underneath.
EXECUTIONCosmos EVMSolidity applications
↓NATIVE MODULESCosmos SDKStaking · Governance · Fee burn
↓CONSENSUSCometBFTPropose · Vote · Commit
Applications speak EVM. Staking, governance and the burn run as native Cosmos SDK modules, reachable from Solidity through precompiled contracts. Consensus is CometBFT, and assets move to other chains over IBC.
Follow the transaction, step by step.
FLOW

ONE TRANSACTION · SIX STAGES
Review and sign the request in your wallet.
Sign
You sign with MetaMask, Keplr or any EVM wallet. One key controls both your 0x and cockroach1 address.

Source protocol parameters, not guaranteed returns. Rates can change through governance.
POLICY
A monetary policy you can read in one minute.
Source monthly rate steps down to a 0.5% floor; governance can change parameters within stated limits.
Disinflation by design
The reward steps down 0.1% a month every year, with no compounding, until it settles at a 0.5% monthly floor.
Hard limits in code
Governance can raise or lower the rate at any time. It can never exceed 3% a month, whatever a vote says.
A burn on every block
Half of all gas fees is destroyed before rewards are paid. A public burn address removes tokens from buybacks permanently.

COCKROACH pays for every transaction, secures the chain through staking and carries the vote on every protocol change.
Proposals become collective decisions.
GOVERNANCE
Every rule is on the table.
Propose
Any holder can table a change to rewards, fees, burn share or validator rules with a deposit.
Vote
Voting power follows stake. Delegators can override their validator's vote on any proposal.
Protect
Expedited one-day votes can freeze addresses tied to exploits, keeping the community's funds safe.
ROADMAP
From devnet to mainnet.
Devnet
Core modules built and tested on a multi-node network.
Public testnet
External validators, faucet, explorers and live governance.
Security audit
Independent review of all custom chain code and genesis.
