Anton Kaliaev 15f621141d remove TimeIotaMs from ABCI consensus params (#3403 ) Also - init substructures to avoid panic in pb2tm.ConsensusParams Before: if csp.Block is nil and we later try to access/write to it, we'll panic. After: if csp.Block is nil and we later try to access/write to it, there'll be no panic.		6 years ago

Overview

ABCI is the interface between Tendermint (a state-machine replication engine) and your application (the actual state machine). It consists of a set of methods, where each method has a corresponding Request and Response message type. Tendermint calls the ABCI methods on the ABCI application by sending the Request* messages and receiving the Response* messages in return.

All message types are defined in a protobuf file. This allows Tendermint to run applications written in any programming language.

This specification is split as follows:

Methods and Types - complete details on all ABCI methods and message types
Applications - how to manage ABCI application state and other details about building ABCI applications
Client and Server - for those looking to implement their own ABCI application servers
