# Tendermint
|
|
|
|
Welcome to the Tendermint Core documentation!
|
|
|
|
Tendermint Core is a blockchain application platform; it provides the equivalent
|
|
of a web-server, database, and supporting libraries for blockchain applications
|
|
written in any programming language. Like a web-server serving web applications,
|
|
Tendermint serves blockchain applications.
|
|
|
|
More formally, Tendermint Core performs Byzantine Fault Tolerant (BFT)
|
|
State Machine Replication (SMR) for arbitrary deterministic, finite state machines.
|
|
