Ignite

Ignite is a United States-based blockchain development company, formerly known as Tendermint (All in Bits, Inc.), one of the founding organizations of the Cosmos ecosystem. The company rebranded from Tendermint to Ignite in February 2022 to reflect a shift toward a product-first focus on developer tooling.

Founded in 2014, Ignite created the core infrastructure underlying the Cosmos network, including Tendermint Core, the Cosmos SDK, and the Inter-Blockchain Communication (IBC) protocol. Its flagship developer tool, Ignite CLI, allows software engineers to scaffold, build, and launch application-specific blockchains using the Cosmos SDK, with features such as code generation, a hot-reloading development environment, and auto-generated TypeScript clients.

Ignite’s tools have been used by prominent Cosmos ecosystem projects including Osmosis, Juno, and Stargaze. The company targets blockchain developers seeking to reduce the complexity of building sovereign, interoperable blockchain networks.
