Cosmos Ecosystem

Cosmos-based chains (Cosmos Hub, Osmosis, Celestia, Injective, dYdX, and others) share a common SDK architecture with built-in staking, governance, and IBC (Inter-Blockchain Communication).

Memo Field

Cosmos transactions support an optional memo field, commonly used for deposit identification at exchanges and custodians:

curl -X POST \
     -H "Authorization: Bearer $TOKEN" \
     -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
     -d '{
       "orderId": "c5d6e7f8-a9b0-4c1d-2e3f-4a5b6c7d8e9f",
       "vaultId": "kR7mNpX2wQvL9sYhBjD4eT",
       "destination": "cosmos1Recipient...",
       "network": "cosmos-mainnet",
       "asset": "c118",
       "amount": "10.0",
       "options": {
         "memo": "deposit-ref-789"
       }
     }' \

warning

Many exchanges require a memo for Cosmos deposits. Sending without the correct memo may result in lost funds.

Staking (Delegation)

Cosmos chains have native staking through delegation to validators.

Delegate

curl -X POST \
     -H "Authorization: Bearer $TOKEN" \
     -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
     -d '{
       "orderId": "d6e7f8a9-b0c1-4d2e-3f4a-5b6c7d8e9f0a",
       "vaultId": "kR7mNpX2wQvL9sYhBjD4eT",
       "addressId": "gMP71sR5sNUnGdKFTsNzp6",
       "destination": "cosmosvaloper1Validator...",
       "network": "cosmos-mainnet",
       "asset": "c118",
       "amount": "100.0",
       "options": {
         "type": "delegate"
       }
     }' \
     https://api.carabaas.com/api/v1/transactions

Undelegate

curl -X POST \
     -H "Authorization: Bearer $TOKEN" \
     -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
     -d '{
       "orderId": "e7f8a9b0-c1d2-4e3f-4a5b-6c7d8e9f0a1b",
       "vaultId": "kR7mNpX2wQvL9sYhBjD4eT",
       "addressId": "gMP71sR5sNUnGdKFTsNzp6",
       "destination": "cosmosvaloper1Validator...",
       "network": "cosmos-mainnet",
       "asset": "c118",
       "amount": "50.0",
       "options": {
         "type": "undelegate"
       }
     }' \
     https://api.carabaas.com/api/v1/transactions

note

Undelegation has a 21-day unbonding period on Cosmos Hub. During this period, tokens do not earn rewards and cannot be transferred.

Claim Rewards

curl -X POST \
     -H "Authorization: Bearer $TOKEN" \
     -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
     -d '{
       "orderId": "f8a9b0c1-d2e3-4f4a-5b6c-7d8e9f0a1b2c",
       "vaultId": "kR7mNpX2wQvL9sYhBjD4eT",
       "addressId": "gMP71sR5sNUnGdKFTsNzp6",
       "destination": "cosmosvaloper1Validator...",
       "network": "cosmos-mainnet",
       "asset": "c118",
       "amount": "0",
       "options": {
         "type": "claim_rewards"
       }
     }' \
