Tendermint, a Byzantine Fault Tolerant state machine replication engine, is designed to ensure consistent replication of states in a distributed system. It achieves consensus through the use of a practical Byzantine Fault Tolerant (pBFT) algorithm, which enables networks to reach agreement even in the presence of malicious actors. Tendermint's consensus engine is crucial for blockchain platforms, as it facilitates secure and efficient transaction processing across nodes, ensuring the integrity and reliability of distributed ledgers.
