Tendermint Core is a Byzantine Fault Tolerant (BFT) middleware that takes a state transition machine - written in any programming language - and securely replicates it on many machines.

# Tendermint Spec
# Tendermint Specifications
This is a Markdown specification of the Tendermint blockchain.
It defines the base data structures, how they are validated,
and how they are communicated over the network.
This directory hosts the canonical Markdown specifications of the Tendermint Protocol.
If you find discrepancies between the spec and the code that
do not have an associated issue or pull request on github,
please submit them to our [bug bounty](https://tendermint.com/security)!
It shall be used to describe protocol semantics, namely the BFT consensus engine, leader election, block propagation and light client verification. The specification includes encoding descriptions used in interprocess communication to comply with the protocol. It defines the interface between the application and Tendermint. The english specifications are often accompanies with a TLA+ specification.

- [Light-Client](./consensus/light-client/README.md)
### P2P and Network Protocols
- [The Base P2P Layer](./p2p/node.md): multiplex the protocols ("reactors") on authenticated and encrypted TCP connections
- [Peer Exchange (PEX)](./p2p/messages/pex.md): gossip known peer addresses so peers can find each other
- [Block Sync](./p2p/messages/block-sync.md): gossip blocks so peers can catch up quickly
- [Consensus](./p2p/messages/consensus.md): gossip votes and block parts so new blocks can be committed
- [Mempool](./p2p/messages/mempool.md): gossip transactions so they get included in blocks
- [Evidence](./p2p/messages/evidence.md): sending invalid evidence will stop the peer

## Contibuting
### Software
Contributions are welcome.
- [ABCI](./abci/README.md): Details about interactions between the
application and consensus engine over ABCI
- [ABCI++](./abci++/README.md): Specification of interactions between the
application and consensus engine over ABCI++
- [Write-Ahead Log](./consensus/wal.md): Details about how the consensus
engine preserves data and recovers from crash failures
Proposals at an early stage can first be drafted as Github issues. To progress, a proposal will often need to be written out and approved as a [Request For Comment (RFC)](../docs/rfc/README.md).
### Ivy Proofs
The standard language for coding blocks is Golang.
