Tendermint Core is a Byzantine Fault Tolerant (BFT) consensus engine and blockchain application platform written in Go. It securely replicates arbitrary deterministic state machines across many machines via the ABCI interface, powering the Cosmos Network blockchains.
Use cases
- build a proof-of-stake blockchain with fast finality
- replicate a deterministic state machine across untrusted machines
- launch a Cosmos SDK-based appchain
- run a BFT consensus engine tolerant of up to 1/3 Byzantine faults
- connect independent blockchains via IBC
- build a blockchain application in any programming language
When to choose
- you need immediate transaction finality rather than probabilistic confirmation
- you want a battle-tested BFT consensus engine used in production by Cosmos chains
- you want to write application logic in any language behind the ABCI interface
When to avoid
- you need a feature set under active development - the core is frozen for LTS
- you want proof-of-work or probabilistic-finality consensus like Bitcoin or Ethereum pre-merge
- you prefer a newer maintained fork such as CometBFT
