- # 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](./introduction/install) to get up and running
- quickly. For more details on [using tendermint](./tendermint-core/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](./networks/deploy-testnets).
-
- ## Application Development
-
- The first step to building application on Tendermint is to [install
- ABCI-CLI](./app-dev/getting-started) and play with the example applications.
