What is Tendermint Core Byzantine Fault Tolerance (BFT)?

Tendermint Core Byzantine Fault Tolerance (BFT) is a language-agnostic consensus method designed by the Ignite team (previously Tendermint) to be a more scalable, secure, and decentralized version of Practical Byzantine Fault Tolerance (pBFT), State Machine Replication (SMR), and Depth Limit Search (DLS) algorithms. As a result, Tendermint Core supports state machines, enables fast finality rates, and can tolerate up to a third of its constituent nodes failing before network performance is significantly affected. This consensus engine was used to construct the Crypto.com blockchain, the Binance decentralized exchange (DEX) protocol, and other notable blockchains.
