20 CosmosRobber barons of the internet age

An engraving in steel blue: executives in dark suits around a glass table in a skyscraper boardroom at night, a glowing hexagonal network on the table, server racks behind a glass wall and the city below.

Robber barons in the internet age: an 18xx game of blockchains, validators and the channels between them, loosely based on the Cosmos ecosystem.

01 · Overview

20 Cosmos is the 18xx system rebuilt for the internet age, loosely based on the Cosmos ecosystem. Blockchains take the place of the railroad companies, validators the place of trains, and IBC channels, relayers and bridges the place of track.

Its rules are not published yet. This page shows the game’s world and how it looks while it is in development.

Railways built empires. Blockchains connect them.
