     3  Welcome to the Tendermint Core documentation!
     4  
     5  Tendermint Core is a blockchain application platform; it provides the equivalent
     6  of a web-server, database, and supporting libraries for blockchain applications
     7  written in any programming language. Like a web-server serving web applications,
     8  Tendermint serves blockchain applications.
     9  
    10  More formally, Tendermint Core performs Byzantine Fault Tolerant (BFT)
    11  State Machine Replication (SMR) for arbitrary deterministic, finite state machines.
    12  For more background, see [What is
