Tendermint

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.

For more background, see the the docs.

To get started developing applications, see the application developers guide.

How to use this image

Start one instance of the Tendermint core with the kvstore app

docker run -it --rm -v "/tmp:/tendermint" tendermint/tendermint init validator
docker run -it --rm -v "/tmp:/tendermint" tendermint/tendermint start --proxy-app=kvstore

Local cluster

To run a 4-node network, see the Makefile in the root of the repo and run:
