    10  Welcome to the Tendermint Core documentation!
    11  
    12  Tendermint Core is a blockchain application platform; it provides the equivalent
    13  of a web-server, database, and supporting libraries for blockchain applications
    14  written in any programming language. Like a web-server serving web applications,
    15  Tendermint serves blockchain applications.
    16  
    17  More formally, Tendermint Core performs Byzantine Fault Tolerant (BFT) State
    18  Machine Replication (SMR) for arbitrary deterministic, finite state machines.
    19  For more background, see [What is
    20  Tendermint?](introduction/what-is-tendermint.md).
    21  
    22  To get started quickly with an example application, see the [quick start
    23  guide](introduction/quick-start.md).
