The Cosmos SDK is an open-source toolkit to build your own blockchain. All chains that use it (like Akash as @forexbrokr mentioned or Osmosis for example) are their own unique, sovereign chains (all layer 1 chains). The toolkit allows for customization, and use of a range of modules. They are all different.

These seperate layer 1 chains then connect to other chains via a protocol called IBC (Inter-blockchain communcations protocol) for various features. This builds a broader eco-system, which currently has 56 unique blockchains connected via IBC.
