Poloniex announced on its official Twitter handle that its transferability proposal has got passed. This news would mean that soon we would be able to see the Cosmos Atoms (the native tokens of the Consensus Network) live. In the announcement, the company shared that the users can preview their Atoms balance on Poloniex for ‘future redemption.’ Poloniex is the sole exchange where the Cosmos ICO participants can preview their Atoms balance.
Poloniex shared its excitement on welcoming Cosmos. In the blog, Poloniex shed light on how Cosmos can be a platform which can enable an open interconnection between various blockchains. It will become possible through a ‘consensus engine called- Tendermint Core,’ which can be an answer to issues related to operations between the blockchains and the problems related to scale. As a result, one can expect a greater acceptance of the blockchain applications.
Atoms’ transferring and trading-
As the Cosmos will launch the Atoms, the users will not be able to start to trade or transfer the native tokens immediately. At the beginning stage, the users can only preview the Atoms on Poloniex. The transferring and the trading of the native tokens will only start when the Cosmos network votes to enable it.
