Crypto trivia: Byzantine fault tolerance
Tendermint (now called CometBFT) is a consensus engine based on Byzantine fault tolerance. Chains such as Cosmos Hub use this engine.
Classic BFT protocols require the total number of nodes to be at least three times the number of malicious nodes, plus one. In other words, malicious nodes must make up less than one-third of the total.
Understanding this won't make me an expert overnight, but it may help me avoid a few basic mistakes.
$ATOM is the native coin of Cosmos Hub, a chain that uses a Byzantine fault-tolerant consensus mechanism.
