tendermint
A Byzantine Fault Tolerant (BFT) middleware for securely replicating state machines across many machines.
What is tendermint?
Tendermint Core is a Byzantine Fault Tolerant (BFT) consensus engine and blockchain replication layer. It enables developers to build secure, decentralized applications by providing a robust foundation for state machine replication without requiring mining. It acts as middleware that takes a state transition machine written in any programming language and securely replicates it across many machines.
Blockchain developers and teams building decentralized applications (dApps) or custom blockchain networks who need a production-proven, language-agnostic consensus layer. It is particularly suited for projects within the Cosmos ecosystem or those requiring BFT consensus without proof-of-work mining.
Developers choose Tendermint Core for its production-proven Byzantine Fault Tolerant consensus, which ensures network security even with up to one-third of malicious participants, and its flexibility via the ABCI (Application Blockchain Interface), which allows application logic to be written in any programming language.
