Tendermint

Tendermint is a consensus algorithm and software development kit (SDK) used in blockchain technology. It provides a Byzantine Fault Tolerant (BFT) consensus mechanism that ensures agreement among nodes in a distributed network, making it secure and reliable. Tendermint is often used as the basis for building blockchain platforms and cryptocurrencies due to its robustness. It forms the foundation for projects like Cosmos, enabling interoperability between different blockchains. With its focus on security and speed, Tendermint contributes to creating scalable and interconnected blockchain ecosystems.
