both cosmos and polkadot share the purpose of being interoperable they have a lot of similarities but also a handful of differences
one of the weakness of cosmos is there’s a potential of traffic once it overloads because of its architecture
cosmos also have lots of competitors that might be stealing some market share
on the other hand polkadot’s technology allows for a more flexible approach depending on whatever your purpose is
something to note is that polkadot had been hacked before
it’s to see yet if they improved on their security or not
I did not know about a hack on Dot. I will look into that.
Though, being hacked isn't always a dealbreaker in crypto as everything eventually seems to get hacked sooner or later. ETH forked, btc forked, etc; Almost like a hack is a rite of passage..
It's the response to the hack that matters and can even be a positive from what I have seen.
Thanks for the info, have a merit
