Reunderstanding the Value of Cosmos

On the Ethereum blockchain, all applications run on a shared state machine. In Cosmos, many application-specific blockchains pass assets and other messages between each other. If Ethereum is a large computer, Cosmos is the protocol that networks independent servers together. The mainframe approach can work well when applications are still platform-native. However, there is a limit to the number of applications each of these blockchains can support, and these applications were not designed with inter-communication in mind from the beginning.
