About Osmosis

Osmosis (OSMO) is the largest decentralized exchange and DeFi hub in the Cosmos ecosystem, built as its own IBC-connected blockchain. Unlike traditional DEXes on Ethereum, Osmosis is an app-specific chain optimized entirely for DEX functionality — with its own validators, governance, and fee model. Osmosis pioneered 'concentrated liquidity pools', 'superfluid staking' (staking LP tokens for double rewards), and a highly flexible AMM architecture with customizable pool parameters. OSMO is used for governance, staking, and liquidity incentives. As the central liquidity hub for 100+ IBC-connected chains, Osmosis processes billions in monthly volume.
