* **Usage**:
* Tendermint is to sign the whole data structure and attach it to a Precommit message
* Upon reception, Tendermint validates the sender's signature and sanity-checks the values of `height`, `round`, and `chain_id`.
Then it sends `extension` to the Application via `RequestVerifyVoteExtension` for verification.

This section describes what the Application can expect from Tendermint.
The Tendermint consensus algorithm is designed to protect safety under any network conditions, as long as
less than 1/3 of validators' voting power is byzantine. Most of the time, though, the network will behave synchronously and there will be no byzantine process. In these frequent, benign conditions:
less than 1/3 of validators' voting power is byzantine. Most of the time, though, the network will behave
synchronously and there will be no byzantine process. In these frequent, benign conditions:
* Tendermint will decide in round 0;
* `PrepareProposal` will be called exactly once at the proposer process of round 0, height _h_;

A vote is a signed message from a validator for a particular block.
The vote includes information about the validator signing it. When stored in the blockchain or propagated over the network, votes are encoded in Protobuf.
