Not based on, but built on top of Iced.

The fork wouldn't be that different from whatever upstream Iced snapshot it last synced with. There are two major, if peripheral, changes still. A renderer for some Wayland special needs, and some integrated accessibility support. At least that was the case until a few weeks ago. I don't think anything significant changed since.

So the Iced API itself is largely the same. However, since this is built on top of Iced. COSMIC apps are more inclined to use abstractions and tools from libcosmic wherever applicable instead of using Iced API directly. But you still see plenty of direct Iced API use.
