Osmosis is a decentralized exchange (DEX) for the Cosmos ecosystem. This is a cross-chain ecosystem that connects several blockchains. Osmosis acts as a DEX or Automated Market Maker (AMM) which is unique because of the possibility to build variable parameters on it.
MoreOsmosis works with liquidity pools. This usually goes with standard code written into the protocol that is difficult to modify, but with Osmosis it’s possible to adjust the parameters, giving you more options with the various types of liquidity pools.
MoreIt’s possible to buy Osmosis (OSMO) at a crypto exchange like Coinmerce. You can pay quickly and easily with any of our payment methods and buy OSMO tokens.

Osmosis was founded by members of two core Cosmos teams: Sunny Aggarwal and Dev Ojha of Sikka validator and Tendermint, and Josh Lee and Tony Yun of Keplr, the Interchain Wallet. One of the investors in this project is Paradigm, an investor who also has shares in other blockchains such as Uniswap, Maker and Coinbase. What makes Osmosis unique as an AMM is its use of liquidity pools that you can customize yourself, allowing you to include multiple tokens in it instead of just two tokens with a 50/50 ratio. That way, for example, slippage can be prevented and transaction costs can be adjusted to the situation. Also, stakeholders in the liquidity pool have more say in the strategic direction of Osmosis and as a stakeholder you have control over your own private keys.
