The project originally started to address the speed, scalability, and environmental issues associated with Bitcoin. The Tendermint team tackled these cryptocurrency problems using Byzantine Fault Tolerance based “Proof of Stake” to gain consensus and securely maintain the validation of blockchains. A blockchain is formed by a community, or validators, who have the most “stake” in the game. A validators investment and reputation, their stake, are a surety to the validity and security of a blockchain. Tendermint was commissioned by the Interchain Foundation to develop the Cosmos Network, to address the Cambrian explosion of blockchain applications. Cheers,
Movember is here and it brings the rain with it.
Let's talk some Go, maybe it will last forever?
With basic Go knowledge we are going to build a fully functioning Blockchain application, no special skills required. Follow along with examples and do try this at home!
