Juno is a PoS blockchain built with Cosmos SDK. It can perform IBC cross-chain in Cosmos. Additionally, Juno is the first smart contract platform in Cosmos, allowing developers to deploy DApps similar to Ethereum.

Juno is an open-source platform designed for interoperable smart contracts that automatically execute, control, or document relevant events and actions based on the terms of the contract or agreement. These contracts are valid and usable across multiple sovereign networks.

As a sovereign public blockchain in the Cosmos ecosystem, Juno aims to provide an environment for deploying interoperable smart contracts. It serves as a decentralized, permissionless, and censorship-resistant avenue for developers to efficiently and securely launch smart contracts using proven frameworks and compile them in various languages such as Rust and Go.
