ABOUT / the index
What this site indexes, where the data comes from, how often it refreshes, and how to use it. Built and maintained by Unity Nodes. A SQLite file and scheduled syncs.
What this is
Cosmopedia is an unofficial, read-only index of public Cosmos material: the Hub forum, the official docs, whitepapers, GitHub releases, issues and discussions, YouTube talks and blogs. Each source is fetched on its own cadence, normalised into one SQLite database, embedded for vector search, and made queryable through one ranked-results page.
Same data, two surfaces: browser search and an MCP server for AI agents, plus a REST API behind both.
Sources
Every row below is a real table in the live database. Counts and last-fetched times are read at page-render and revalidated every 10 minutes.

Why this exists
Cosmos material lives in many places: the docs site, the Hub forum, GitHub repositories and release notes, and on-chain governance. Each has its own search and none of them shows how fresh the others are. The official documentation already has a search and an MCP server of its own, so Cosmopedia does not repeat it.
Cosmopedia collects the public rest in one place, keeps the canonical link, and shows the timestamp each source was last fetched. A source that has not been synced yet says so in the table above instead of showing an empty list as if it were the whole picture. If a docs page 404s upstream, the cached snapshot stays reachable until it comes back.
How it stays current
Sources are fetched by scheduled scripts, each on its own cadence, so cheap sources stay fresh and expensive ones don't hammer their upstreams. The Cadence column above shows the schedule each source actually has; a source with no schedule is not being synced.
When a source is offline, the previous snapshot is served with a last-fetched note. Nothing is paraphrased and nothing is rewritten by an LLM before being shown to you.
Three ways to use it
1 / Search
Press / anywhere, or use the topbar. Ranked results across every source in one list.

2 / REST API
JSON over HTTP, no API key. The same ranked results the search box and MCP tools use.
GET /api/v1/search

3 / MCP server

What this is NOT
- Not a replacement for the primary sources. Every page links back to the docs page, the forum thread, or the GitHub release that the row came from. If the answer matters, click through and verify against the original.
- Not a news site. No editorial team, no headlines, no "our take". Aggregator pages (/blog, /feed) re-list third-party posts; their text belongs to the original publishers.
- Not financial advice and not investment research. Governance and technical material is shown for reference. Nothing here is a recommendation to buy or sell ATOM or any other asset.
- Not affiliated with the Interchain Foundation, Cosmos Labs, or any validator operator. Cosmopedia is operated independently by Unity Nodes.
- Not a finished product. Things break. Upstreams change shape. When we notice, we fix it; when we don't, please tell us on /contact.
