Atomone: A community-driven, constitutionally governed blockchain designed to prioritize security, decentralization, and innovation.​

AtomOne is a community-driven, constitutionally governed blockchain that positions itself as a secure, minimalist hub in the Cosmos ecosystem. It’s a lean fork of the Cosmos Hub (“Gaia”) focused on security, decentralization, and interchain interoperability via IBC and Interchain Security (ICS). Rather than competing with Cosmos Hub, AtomOne aims to complement it by exploring safer designs and feeding improvements upstream.

Governance is built around a live, on-chain Constitution and a system of community DAOs. A Steering DAO (advisory) and an Oversight DAO (supervisory) are planned to guide strategy and enforce constitutional compliance, while the project explicitly avoids a centralized foundation in favor of treasury DAOs for transparent fund management. AtomOne also seeks to reduce governance centralization by curbing delegation-based voting power concentration.

Economically, AtomOne uses a dual-token model: ATONE for staking and governance, and PHOTON as the network’s fee token. PHOTON is minted only by burning ATONE (irreversible), with a maximum mintable supply of 1 billion, and is intended to become the sole fee token across the root chain, future shards, IBC and ICS.
