Tendermint
Welcome to the Tendermint Core documentation! The introduction below provides
an overview to help you navigate to your area of interest.
Introduction
Tendermint Core is Byzantine Fault Tolerant (BFT) middleware that takes a state
transition machine - written in any programming language - and securely
replicates it on many machines. In other words, a blockchain.
Tendermint requires an application running over the Application Blockchain
Interface (ABCI) - and comes packaged with an example application to do so.
Follow the installation instructions to get up and running
quickly. For more details on using tendermint see that
and the following sections.
Networks
Testnets can be setup manually on one or more machines, or automatically on one
or more machine, using a variety of methods described in the deploy testnets
section.
Application Development
The first step to building application on Tendermint is to install
ABCI-CLI and play with the example applications.
