Cosmos ecosystem projects: 31 on NAUT, 14 are Layer-1 chains

By NAUT Research · · 8 min read

31 Cosmos ecosystem live NAUT project pages tagged the Cosmos chain, read 8 November 2026. Logos: Secret Network, Celestia, Injective, Terra Luna Classic, Babylon, Agoric, Sei Network, Umee, Nibiru, Archway, Sommelier, Bluzelle.

NAUT tracks 31 live Cosmos ecosystem projects as of 8 November 2026: company pages that carry the Cosmos chain tag and describe a product built for that ecosystem. They group into 14 Layer-1 chains, 10 DeFi protocols, 6 infrastructure projects and 1 GameFi chain, and NAUT's records hold 107 funding rounds worth $1,665,147,603 across the 31.

How this list was built: on 8 November 2026 NAUT read all 52 live company pages tagged the Cosmos chain and kept 31. 20 were set aside because their own stored description names a different kind of product (3 multichain wallets, 3 swap or exchange aggregators, 2 cross-chain oracles, and 12 whose own line describes cross-ecosystem or off-Cosmos work), and 1 further row is held back as a data defect, because its stored summary describes a consumer banking product rather than a Cosmos chain, so it stays out until the record is fixed. 11 of the 31 stored descriptions name Cosmos, the Cosmos SDK, Tendermint or Interchain; the other 20 carry the chain tag with no Cosmos word in their own line. Round counts and raise totals are NAUT's own round records for each company, never a market-wide total. 8 of the 31 rows had a claim put to sources outside NAUT on 8 November 2026: 6 came back confirmed and 2 came back contradicted and are left out of the copy. Both contradicted claims were funding sentences inside stored descriptions, at MilkyWay and at Saga, so read the raise figures for those 2 as NAUT's round records alone. 23 of the 31 rows had no outside check at all. Lava Network's single round carries no date on NAUT's record. Written by NAUT Research.

Sources outside NAUT confirmed 3 of these lines on 8 November 2026: Babylon as a Cosmos SDK protocol putting Bitcoin security behind Proof-of-Stake chains, Kava's own site wording, and Nibiru's seed round, which the sources NAUT read put at $8,500,000 on a $100,000,000 valuation with HashKey Capital and NGC Ventures on the record.

  • : interchain arbitrage infrastructure protocol. 1 round and $2,900,000 on NAUT's record, last dated 6 December 2021.

2 notes a buyer should carry into a call: the sources NAUT read for Stride on 8 November 2026 also say its liquid staking is winding down after a governance vote, and the Osmosis line was confirmed only on the wording, not on a figure.

The GameFi chain

  • : GameFi chain whose own docs say "Bluzelle is a blockchain for GameFi with its ability to produce high quality games, protect players NFTs". 5 rounds and $23,300,000 on NAUT's record, last dated 27 March 2018.

Which Cosmos SDK projects name the ecosystem in their own line?

11 of the 31 stored descriptions name Cosmos, the Cosmos SDK, Tendermint or Interchain themselves: Babylon, Bluzelle, Kava, MilkyWay, Neutron, Nibiru, Osmosis, Persistence, Saga, Stride and White Whale. The other 20 carry the chain tag while their own line stays silent on the ecosystem, so check the project's page before you write that sentence into a pitch.

What this tells a founder raising on Cosmos

  • NAUT's record holds $1,665,147,603 across 107 rounds at the 31 projects, so a comparable exists for a chain, an app and an infrastructure pitch.
  • A DeFi round on Cosmos is small next to a chain round: the 10 DeFi protocols hold $129,164,103 between them, against $1,273,638,500 at the 14 chains.
  • Round counts run from 1 to 7 on these pages, with 10 of the 31 showing 5 or more rounds, so a staged raise is normal here.
  • 7 rows raised in 2024 or later, which is the set whose backers are most likely to still be writing cheques into Cosmos.

Which Cosmos-tagged rows were set aside, and why?

21 of the 52 tagged rows are not on the list. Each sits in the bucket its own stored description puts it in.

Reason Rows What their own line says
Multichain wallet 3 Tagged across many ecosystems: Bitget Wallet (37 chain tags), Frontier, MATH
Swap aggregator 3 Swap or exchange aggregators: RocketX, Rubic, THORSwap
Cross-chain oracle 2 Oracles or data feeds: Band Protocol, SEDA Protocol
Cross-ecosystem 12 Own line describes cross-ecosystem or off- work: Berachain, Celer Network, Nillion
Data defect 1 A stored summary that describes a consumer banking product, held back until the record is fixed

Can you pull this data through the NAUT API?

Yes. NAUT's data shows these 31 rows, and each one comes back as a single company with its team at GET https://api.naut.so/v1/projects/<slug>, so Osmosis is GET https://api.naut.so/v1/projects/osmosis, passing your key as Authorization: Bearer $NAUT_KEY. Each data call costs 5 credits and the Essential plan at $49 a month carries 3,000 credits, which is 600 data calls, so the team page of every project on this list fits inside 1 month many times over (API docs, plans and prices). Verified Telegram, email and LinkedIn unlock on any paid NAUT plan, so you can start a 7-day trial and message the teams behind these 31 projects.

Cosmos ecosystem projects FAQ

Which projects are building on Cosmos?

NAUT lists 31 live Cosmos ecosystem projects as of 8 November 2026, among them Secret Network, Celestia, Injective, Terra Luna Classic, Babylon and Agoric. 14 of the 31 are Layer-1 chains, 10 are DeFi protocols, 6 are infrastructure projects and 1 is a GameFi chain.

How much have Cosmos ecosystem projects raised?

NAUT's round records hold $1,665,147,603 across 107 rounds at the 31 projects, read on 8 November 2026. Secret Network carries the largest figure at $411,500,000 across 2 rounds, ahead of Celestia at $211,525,000.

What are the largest Cosmos DeFi protocols on NAUT?

Of the 10 Cosmos DeFi protocols on this list, Umee holds the largest raise record at $38,300,000, then Sommelier at $26,500,000 and Osmosis at $21,000,000.

Why does this list hold 31 of the 52 Cosmos-tagged rows?

NAUT read all 52 live Cosmos-tagged company pages on 8 November 2026 and set 20 aside because their own stored description names a different product (3 multichain wallets, 3 aggregators, 2 cross-chain oracles and 12 cross-ecosystem lines), plus 1 held back as a data defect. A chain tag is a lead, so each kept row was read against its own description.

Where can I find the teams behind these Cosmos ecosystem projects and their contact channels?

Each of the 31 projects has a NAUT page that lists its team, its rounds and the channels NAUT holds on file, and GET https://api.naut.so/v1/projects/<slug> returns 1 company with its team. Verified Telegram, email and LinkedIn unlock on any paid NAUT plan, so you can start a 7-day trial.
