Cosmos Hub - Interchain Security

Welcome to the official documentation for the Cosmos Hub's Interchain Security (ICS) - a platform for launching Cosmos-SDK chains.

The Cosmos Hub is the best place to launch a chain.

With the recent launch of the Partial Set Security and Permissionless features, it's easier than ever to leverage the Cosmos Hub validators, stake, and community for your chain. ICS provides powerful capabilities for permissionlessly launching your chain and shaping your validator set.
