## 🤔 Why should you be interested in the Cosmos Hub
24
21
25
22
The Cosmos Hub is built using the [Cosmos SDK](https://github.com/cosmos/cosmos-sdk) and compiled to a binary called `gaiad` (Gaia Daemon). The Cosmos Hub and other fully sovereign Cosmos SDK blockchains interact with one another using a protocol called [IBC](https://github.com/cosmos/ibc) that enables Inter-Blockchain Communication. In order to understand what the Cosmos Hub is you can read this [introductory explanation](https://hub.cosmos.network).

-
Cosmos Hub is a blockchain network that operates on Proof-of-Stake consensus. You can find an introduction to the Cosmos Hub and how to use the `gaiad` binary as a delegator, validator or node operator as well as how governance on the Cosmos Hub works in the [documentation](https://hub.cosmos.network).
34
-
35
-
Alternatively, whether you're new to blockchain technology or interested in getting involved, the Cosmos Network [Course](https://tutorials.cosmos.network/academy/0-welcome/) will guide you through everything. The course walks you through the basics of blockchain technology, to staking, setting up your own node, and beyond.

If you want to participate and help secure Cosmos Hub, check out becoming a validator. Information on what a validator is and how to participate as one can be found at the [Validator FAQ](https://hub.cosmos.network/validators/validator-faq.html#). If you're running a validator node on the Cosmos Hub, reach out to a Janitor on the [Cosmos Developers Discord](https://discord.gg/cosmosnetwork) to join the `#cosmos-hub-validators-verified` channel.

To participate in or utilize the current Cosmos Hub testnet, take a look at the [cosmos/testnets](https://github.com/cosmos/testnets) repository. This testnet is for the Theta Upgrade expected in Q1 2022. For future upgrades of the Cosmos Hub take a look at the [roadmap](https://github.com/cosmos/gaia/blob/main/docs/docs/roadmap/cosmos-hub-roadmap-2.0.md).

With each version of the Cosmos Hub, the chain is restarted from a new Genesis state.
83
-
Mainnet is currently running as `cosmoshub-4`. Archives of the state of `cosmoshub-1`, `cosmoshub-2`, and `cosmoshub-3` are available [here](./docs/resources/archives.md).

If you are looking for historical genesis files and other data [`cosmos/mainnet`](http://github.com/cosmos/mainnet) is an excellent resource. Snapshots are also available at [cosmos.quicksync.io](https://cosmos.quicksync.io).

In the Cosmos Network, chain IDs have a revision number that is incremented on a hard-fork, i.e., when the chain restarts from a new genesis state.
45

Mainnet is currently running as `cosmoshub-4`.

If you are looking for historical genesis files and other data [`cosmos/mainnet`](http://github.com/cosmos/mainnet) is an excellent resource.
