Tendermint Consensus Engine is a Byzantine Fault Tolerant (BFT) engine for building blockchains. It ensures the network runs smoothly even when a small percentage of validators are malicious. Tendermint plays a crucial role in the blockchain, as it is responsible for validating and finalizing transactions. The Tendermint Core software is open-source, making it accessible for developers seeking to create and maintain secure, efficient blockchain systems. It operates on a proof-of-stake mechanism, where validators commit to a set of rules and work together to reach consensus on the state of the blockchain. This ensures that transactions cannot be double-spent and that the blockchain remains tamper-proof.
