Tendermint
Tendermint is a blockchain consensus engine that combines a Byzantine Fault Tolerant (BFT) consensus algorithm with a high-performance networking layer, designed to ensure secure and scalable blockchain operations.
How Tendermint Works
Tendermint separates the consensus layer from the application layer, allowing developers to focus on creating their blockchain applications while relying on Tendermint for securing and validating transactions. It uses the BFT algorithm to achieve consensus, meaning it can tolerate up to one-third of nodes being compromised without affecting the network’s security.
Why Tendermint Matters
Tendermint’s architecture enables fast finality, low-latency block processing, and easy scalability, making it a popular choice for developers building decentralized applications (dApps) and enterprise blockchain solutions. It powers the Cosmos Network, promoting interoperability across different blockchains.
