Someone asked: How can a group of mutually distrustful nodes agree on the same ledger?
My answer: Tendermint (now called CometBFT) is a Byzantine fault-tolerant consensus engine used by chains such as the Cosmos Hub. The “two-thirds” threshold ensures that any two quorums of votes overlap in at least some honest nodes, so two conflicting results can’t both be accepted.
$ATOM 1.743 (-0.34%)
If you found this useful, save it so you can look it up later.
