Buy Cosmos
in India

Cosmos, which is introduced as "Blockchain Internet", tries to bring different blockchains together in one unit and from the very beginning solve several main problems that plague this technology. ATOM is the core cryptocurrency on top of the Cosmos platform, which is designed to facilitate communication, scaling and collaboration between independent blockchains. The projects launched in the Cosmos network allow the exchange of their tokens as well.

In addition, Cosmos presents itself as a set of tools, with its modular and adaptable features, available to developers who are ready to start working on the decentralization of the Internet and related financial infrastructure. In other words, Cosmos, known by its founding team as the Internet of Blockchain, aims to create a cryptographic network united by open-source tools to simplify transactions between them. It is this focus on customization and interoperability that sets Cosmos apart from other projects.

The native staking token for Cosmos platform is called ATOM. This currency forms the foundation of the token economy of the Cosmos network. The ATOM symbol is widely and commonly used on exchanges in order to address the Cosmos currency. You can easily find information about this cryptocurrency by searching its symbol, ATOM.

Yes, it is allowed to trade, buy and sell cryptocurrency in India. In March 2020 the Supreme
Court of India issued a case on the regulation and acknowledgment of the use of digital
currency inside the country. As stated in the above-mentioned document “Technological
innovations, including those underlying virtual currencies, have the potential to improve the
efficiency and inclusiveness of the financial system.” Since then, the Indian government has
been considering the creation of a new legal framework for cryptocurrencies.

Yes, cryptocurrencies are taxed in India. Before 2022, the Indian government did not have a
clear stance on the classification and taxation of cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin. However,
recently the Indian authorities recognized cryptocurrencies as Virtual Digital Assets (VDAs) and
established a tax framework for them. This is the first time that cryptocurrencies have been
acknowledged and taxed in India, as the Income Tax Department (ITD) introduced a new
section, Section 2(47A), into the Income Tax Act to define the term Virtual Digital Assets (VDAs)
and the regulations around its taxation. The definition is comprehensive and encompasses
various types of crypto assets, including cryptocurrencies, non-fungible tokens (NFTs), tokens,
and others.
According to the above-mentioned Tax Act, if you engage in cryptocurrency trading, selling, or
spending, you will be subject to a 30% tax on any profits you make. Additionally, if you sell
crypto assets that are worth more than INR 50,000 in a single financial year, you will also be
subject to a 1% Tax Deducted at Source (TDS). Furthermore, if you are seen as earning income
from other sources in cryptocurrencies, you may also be required to pay income tax at your
individual tax rate. In conclusion, you may be required to pay a 30% tax on the following
cryptocurrency transactions: Selling cryptocurrencies for Indian Rupees or another fiat currency,
Trading cryptocurrencies for other cryptocurrencies (including stable coins), Using
cryptocurrencies to purchase goods and services.
It is important to note that the tax treatment of cryptocurrencies in India may change in the
future as the government continues to consider new regulations. We would recommend
consulting a local tax expert or financial advisor for the most up-to-date information on the tax
treatment of cryptocurrencies in India.

ATOM has three main use cases: A spam-prevention system, a voting system for governance, and staking. Users can “stake” their ATOMs (lock them up in a smart contract for a period of time) to earn rewards. “Staking” is similar to investing money earning a return on investment. The process is similar to depositing cash into a bank account to generate interest over time. Stakers earn the rewards for their work securing the network.
