 # Application Development Guide
 ## XXX
 This page is undergoing deprecation. All content is being moved to the new [home
 of the ABCI specification](https://github.com/tendermint/spec/tree/master/spec/abci).
 ## ABCI Design
 The purpose of ABCI is to provide a clean interface between state
 transition machines on one computer and the mechanics of their
 replication across multiple computers. The former we call 'application
 logic' and the latter the 'consensus engine'. Application logic
 validates transactions and optionally executes transactions against some
 persistent state. A consensus engine ensures all transactions are
 replicated in the same order on every machine. We call each machine in a
 consensus engine a 'validator', and each validator runs the same
 transactions through the same application logic. In particular, we are
 interested in blockchain-style consensus engines, where transactions are
 committed in hash-linked blocks.
 The ABCI design has a few distinct components:
 - message protocol
    - pairs of request and response messages
    - consensus makes requests, application responds
    - defined using protobuf
 - server/client
    - consensus engine runs the client
    - application runs the server
    - two implementations:
        - async raw bytes
        - grpc
 - blockchain protocol
    - abci is connection oriented
    - Tendermint Core maintains three connections:
        - [mempool connection](#mempool-connection): for checking if
      transactions should be relayed before they are committed;
      only uses `CheckTx`
        - [consensus connection](#consensus-connection): for executing
      transactions that have been committed. Message sequence is
      -for every block -`BeginBlock, [DeliverTx, ...], EndBlock, Commit`
        - [query connection](#query-connection): for querying the
      application state; only uses Query and Info
 The mempool and consensus logic act as clients, and each maintains an
 open ABCI connection with the application, which hosts an ABCI server.
 Shown are the request and response types sent on each connection.
 Most of the examples below are from [kvstore
 application](https://github.com/tendermint/tendermint/blob/master/abci/example/kvstore/kvstore.go),
 which is a part of the abci repo. [persistent_kvstore
 application](https://github.com/tendermint/tendermint/blob/master/abci/example/kvstore/persistent_kvstore.go)
 is used to show `BeginBlock`, `EndBlock` and `InitChain` example
 implementations.
 ## Blockchain Protocol
 In ABCI, a transaction is simply an arbitrary length byte-array. It is
 the application's responsibility to define the transaction codec as they
 please, and to use it for both CheckTx and DeliverTx.
 Note that there are two distinct means for running transactions,
 corresponding to stages of 'awareness' of the transaction in the
 network. The first stage is when a transaction is received by a
 validator from a client into the so-called mempool or transaction pool
 -this is where we use CheckTx. The second is when the transaction is
 successfully committed on more than 2/3 of validators - where we use
 DeliverTx. In the former case, it may not be necessary to run all the
 state transitions associated with the transaction, as the transaction
 may not ultimately be committed until some much later time, when the
 result of its execution will be different. For instance, an Ethereum
 ABCI app would check signatures and amounts in CheckTx, but would not
 actually execute any contract code until the DeliverTx, so as to avoid
 executing state transitions that have not been finalized.
 To formalize the distinction further, two explicit ABCI connections are
 made between Tendermint Core and the application: the mempool connection
 and the consensus connection. We also make a third connection, the query
 connection, to query the local state of the app.
 ### Mempool Connection
 The mempool connection is used _only_ for CheckTx requests. Transactions
 are run using CheckTx in the same order they were received by the
 validator. If the CheckTx returns `OK`, the transaction is kept in
 memory and relayed to other peers in the same order it was received.
 Otherwise, it is discarded.
 CheckTx requests run concurrently with block processing; so they should
 run against a copy of the main application state which is reset after
 every block. This copy is necessary to track transitions made by a
 sequence of CheckTx requests before they are included in a block. When a
 block is committed, the application must ensure to reset the mempool
 state to the latest committed state. Tendermint Core will then filter
 through all transactions in the mempool, removing any that were included
 in the block, and re-run the rest using CheckTx against the post-Commit
 mempool state (this behaviour can be turned off with
 `[mempool] recheck = false`).
 In go:
 ```go
 func (app *KVStoreApplication) CheckTx(req types.RequestCheckTx) types.ResponseCheckTx {
 	return types.ResponseCheckTx{Code: code.CodeTypeOK, GasWanted: 1}
 }
 ```
 In Java:
 ```java
 ResponseCheckTx requestCheckTx(RequestCheckTx req) {
    byte[] transaction = req.getTx().toByteArray();
    // validate transaction
    if (notValid) {
        return ResponseCheckTx.newBuilder().setCode(CodeType.BadNonce).setLog("invalid tx").build();
    } else {
        return ResponseCheckTx.newBuilder().setCode(CodeType.OK).build();
    }
 }
 ```
 ### Replay Protection
 To prevent old transactions from being replayed, CheckTx must implement
 replay protection.
 Tendermint provides the first defence layer by keeping a lightweight
 in-memory cache of 100k (`[mempool] cache_size`) last transactions in
 the mempool. If Tendermint is just started or the clients sent more than
 100k transactions, old transactions may be sent to the application. So
 it is important CheckTx implements some logic to handle them.
 If there are cases in your application where a transaction may become invalid in some
 future state, you probably want to disable Tendermint's
 cache. You can do that by setting `[mempool] cache_size = 0` in the
 config.
 ### Consensus Connection
 The consensus connection is used only when a new block is committed, and
 communicates all information from the block in a series of requests:
 `BeginBlock, [DeliverTx, ...], EndBlock, Commit`. That is, when a block
 is committed in the consensus, we send a list of DeliverTx requests (one
 for each transaction) sandwiched by BeginBlock and EndBlock requests,
 and followed by a Commit.
 ### DeliverTx
 DeliverTx is the workhorse of the blockchain. Tendermint sends the
 DeliverTx requests asynchronously but in order, and relies on the
 underlying socket protocol (ie. TCP) to ensure they are received by the
 app in order. They have already been ordered in the global consensus by
 the Tendermint protocol.
 DeliverTx returns a abci.Result, which includes a Code, Data, and Log.
 The code may be non-zero (non-OK), meaning the corresponding transaction
 should have been rejected by the mempool, but may have been included in
 a block by a Byzantine proposer.
 The block header will be updated (TODO) to include some commitment to
 the results of DeliverTx, be it a bitarray of non-OK transactions, or a
 merkle root of the data returned by the DeliverTx requests, or both.
 In go:
 ```go
 // tx is either "key=value" or just arbitrary bytes
 func (app *KVStoreApplication) DeliverTx(req types.RequestDeliverTx) types.ResponseDeliverTx {
 	var key, value []byte
 	parts := bytes.Split(req.Tx, []byte("="))
 	if len(parts) == 2 {
 		key, value = parts[0], parts[1]
 	} else {
 		key, value = req.Tx, req.Tx
 	}
 	app.state.db.Set(prefixKey(key), value)
 	app.state.Size += 1
 	events := []types.Event{
 		{
 			Type: "app",
 			Attributes: []kv.Pair{
 				{Key: []byte("creator"), Value: []byte("Cosmoshi Netowoko")},
 				{Key: []byte("key"), Value: key},
 			},
 		},
 	}
 	return types.ResponseDeliverTx{Code: code.CodeTypeOK, Events: events}
 }
 ```
 In Java:
 ```java
 /**
 * Using Protobuf types from the protoc compiler, we always start with a byte[]
 */
 ResponseDeliverTx deliverTx(RequestDeliverTx request) {
    byte[] transaction  = request.getTx().toByteArray();
    // validate your transaction
    if (notValid) {
        return ResponseDeliverTx.newBuilder().setCode(CodeType.BadNonce).setLog("transaction was invalid").build();
    } else {
        ResponseDeliverTx.newBuilder().setCode(CodeType.OK).build();
    }
 }
 ```
 ### Commit
 Once all processing of the block is complete, Tendermint sends the
 Commit request and blocks waiting for a response. While the mempool may
 run concurrently with block processing (the BeginBlock, DeliverTxs, and
 EndBlock), it is locked for the Commit request so that its state can be
 safely updated during Commit. This means the app _MUST NOT_ do any
 blocking communication with the mempool (ie. broadcast_tx) during
 Commit, or there will be deadlock. Note also that all remaining
 transactions in the mempool are replayed on the mempool connection
 (CheckTx) following a commit.
 The app should respond to the Commit request with a byte array, which is
 the deterministic state root of the application. It is included in the
 header of the next block. It can be used to provide easily verified
 Merkle-proofs of the state of the application.
 It is expected that the app will persist state to disk on Commit. The
 option to have all transactions replayed from some previous block is the
 job of the [Handshake](#handshake).
 In go:
 ```go
 func (app *KVStoreApplication) Commit() types.ResponseCommit {
 	// Using a memdb - just return the big endian size of the db
 	appHash := make([]byte, 8)
 	binary.PutVarint(appHash, app.state.Size)
 	app.state.AppHash = appHash
 	app.state.Height += 1
 	saveState(app.state)
 	return types.ResponseCommit{Data: appHash}
 }
 ```
 In Java:
 ```java
 ResponseCommit requestCommit(RequestCommit requestCommit) {
    // update the internal app-state
    byte[] newAppState = calculateAppState();
    // and return it to the node
    return ResponseCommit.newBuilder().setCode(CodeType.OK).setData(ByteString.copyFrom(newAppState)).build();
 }
 ```
 ### BeginBlock
 The BeginBlock request can be used to run some code at the beginning of
 every block. It also allows Tendermint to send the current block hash
 and header to the application, before it sends any of the transactions.
 The app should remember the latest height and header (ie. from which it
 has run a successful Commit) so that it can tell Tendermint where to
 pick up from when it restarts. See information on the Handshake, below.
 In go:
 ```go
 // Track the block hash and header information
 func (app *PersistentKVStoreApplication) BeginBlock(req types.RequestBeginBlock) types.ResponseBeginBlock {
 	// reset valset changes
 	app.ValUpdates = make([]types.ValidatorUpdate, 0)
 	return types.ResponseBeginBlock{}
 }
 ```
 In Java:
 ```java
 /*
 * all types come from protobuf definition
 */
 ResponseBeginBlock requestBeginBlock(RequestBeginBlock req) {
    Header header = req.getHeader();
    byte[] prevAppHash = header.getAppHash().toByteArray();
    long prevHeight = header.getHeight();
    // run your pre-block logic. Maybe prepare a state snapshot, message components, etc
    return ResponseBeginBlock.newBuilder().build();
 }
 ```
 ### EndBlock
 The EndBlock request can be used to run some code at the end of every block.
 Additionally, the response may contain a list of validators, which can be used
 to update the validator set. To add a new validator or update an existing one,
 simply include them in the list returned in the EndBlock response. To remove
 one, include it in the list with a `power` equal to `0`. Validator's `address`
 field can be left empty. Tendermint core will take care of updating the
 validator set. Note the change in voting power must be strictly less than 1/3
 per block if you want a light client to be able to prove the transition
 externally. See the [light client
 docs](https://godoc.org/github.com/tendermint/tendermint/light#hdr-How_We_Track_Validators)
 for details on how it tracks validators.
 In go:
 ```go
 // Update the validator set
 func (app *PersistentKVStoreApplication) EndBlock(req types.RequestEndBlock) types.ResponseEndBlock {
 	return types.ResponseEndBlock{ValidatorUpdates: app.ValUpdates}
 }
 ```
 In Java:
 ```java
 /*
 * Assume that one validator changes. The new validator has a power of 10
 */
 ResponseEndBlock requestEndBlock(RequestEndBlock req) {
    final long currentHeight = req.getHeight();
    final byte[] validatorPubKey = getValPubKey();
    ResponseEndBlock.Builder builder = ResponseEndBlock.newBuilder();
    builder.addDiffs(1, Types.Validator.newBuilder().setPower(10L).setPubKey(ByteString.copyFrom(validatorPubKey)).build());
    return builder.build();
 }
 ```
 ### Query Connection
 This connection is used to query the application without engaging
 consensus. It's exposed over the tendermint core rpc, so clients can
 query the app without exposing a server on the app itself, but they must
 serialize each query as a single byte array. Additionally, certain
 "standardized" queries may be used to inform local decisions, for
 instance about which peers to connect to.
 Tendermint Core currently uses the Query connection to filter peers upon
 connecting, according to IP address or node ID. For instance,
 returning non-OK ABCI response to either of the following queries will
 cause Tendermint to not connect to the corresponding peer:
 - `p2p/filter/addr/<ip addr>`, where `<ip addr>` is an IP address.
 - `p2p/filter/id/<id>`, where `<is>` is the hex-encoded node ID (the hash of
  the node's p2p pubkey).
 Note: these query formats are subject to change!
 In go:
 ```go
 func (app *KVStoreApplication) Query(reqQuery types.RequestQuery) (resQuery types.ResponseQuery) {
 	if reqQuery.Prove {
 		value := app.state.db.Get(prefixKey(reqQuery.Data))
 		resQuery.Index = -1 // TODO make Proof return index
 		resQuery.Key = reqQuery.Data
 		resQuery.Value = value
 		if value != nil {
 			resQuery.Log = "exists"
 		} else {
 			resQuery.Log = "does not exist"
 		}
 		return
 	} else {
 		resQuery.Key = reqQuery.Data
 		value := app.state.db.Get(prefixKey(reqQuery.Data))
 		resQuery.Value = value
 		if value != nil {
 			resQuery.Log = "exists"
 		} else {
 			resQuery.Log = "does not exist"
 		}
 		return
 	}
 }
 ```
 In Java:
 ```java
    ResponseQuery requestQuery(RequestQuery req) {
        final boolean isProveQuery = req.getProve();
        final ResponseQuery.Builder responseBuilder = ResponseQuery.newBuilder();
 		byte[] queryData = req.getData().toByteArray();
        if (isProveQuery) {
            com.app.example.QueryResultWithProof result = generateQueryResultWithProof(queryData);
            responseBuilder.setIndex(result.getLeftIndex());
            responseBuilder.setKey(req.getData());
            responseBuilder.setValue(result.getValueOrNull(0));
            responseBuilder.setHeight(result.getHeight());
            responseBuilder.setProof(result.getProof());
            responseBuilder.setLog(result.getLogValue());
        } else {
            com.app.example.QueryResult result = generateQueryResult(queryData);
            responseBuilder.setIndex(result.getIndex());
            responseBuilder.setValue(result.getValue());
            responseBuilder.setLog(result.getLogValue());
        }
        responseBuilder.setIndex(result.getIndex());
        responseBuilder.setValue(ByteString.copyFrom(result.getValue()));
        responseBuilder.setLog(result.getLogValue());
    }
    return responseBuilder.build();
 }
 ```
 ### Handshake
 When the app or tendermint restarts, they need to sync to a common
 height. When an ABCI connection is first established, Tendermint will
 call `Info` on the Query connection. The response should contain the
 LastBlockHeight and LastBlockAppHash - the former is the last block for
 which the app ran Commit successfully, the latter is the response from
 that Commit.
 Using this information, Tendermint will determine what needs to be
 replayed, if anything, against the app, to ensure both Tendermint and
 the app are synced to the latest block height.
 If the app returns a LastBlockHeight of 0, Tendermint will just replay
 all blocks.
 In go:
 ```go
 func (app *KVStoreApplication) Info(req types.RequestInfo) (resInfo types.ResponseInfo) {
 	return types.ResponseInfo{
 		Data:       fmt.Sprintf("{\"size\":%v}", app.state.Size),
 		Version:    version.ABCIVersion,
 		AppVersion: ProtocolVersion.Uint64(),
 	}
 }
 ```
 In Java:
 ```java
 ResponseInfo requestInfo(RequestInfo req) {
    final byte[] lastAppHash = getLastAppHash();
    final long lastHeight = getLastHeight();
    return ResponseInfo.newBuilder().setLastBlockAppHash(ByteString.copyFrom(lastAppHash)).setLastBlockHeight(lastHeight).build();
 }
 ```
 ### Genesis
 `InitChain` will be called once upon the genesis. `params` includes the
 initial validator set. Later on, it may be extended to take parts of the
 consensus params.
 In go:
 ```go
 // Save the validators in the merkle tree
 func (app *PersistentKVStoreApplication) InitChain(req types.RequestInitChain) types.ResponseInitChain {
 	for _, v := range req.Validators {
 		r := app.updateValidator(v)
 		if r.IsErr() {
 			app.logger.Error("Error updating validators", "r", r)
 		}
 	}
 	return types.ResponseInitChain{}
 }
 ```
 In Java:
 ```java
 /*
 * all types come from protobuf definition
 */
 ResponseInitChain requestInitChain(RequestInitChain req) {
    final int validatorsCount = req.getValidatorsCount();
    final List<Types.Validator> validatorsList = req.getValidatorsList();
    validatorsList.forEach((validator) -> {
        long power = validator.getPower();
        byte[] validatorPubKey = validator.getPubKey().toByteArray();
        // do somehing for validator setup in app
    });
    return ResponseInitChain.newBuilder().build();
 }

 # Block Structure
 The tendermint consensus engine records all agreements by a
 The Tendermint consensus engine records all agreements by a
 supermajority of nodes into a blockchain, which is replicated among all
 nodes. This blockchain is accessible via various rpc endpoints, mainly
 nodes. This blockchain is accessible via various RPC endpoints, mainly
 `/block?height=` to get the full block, as well as
 `/blockchain?minHeight=_&maxHeight=_` to get a list of headers. But what
 exactly is stored in these blocks?
