* docs/rfc: add testnet RFC Following several discussions internal to the Tendermint engineering team, I am posting an RFC discussing the high-level details of the Tendermint team owning and operating a long-lived testnet in order to build experience running Tendermint, and to demonstrate that Tendermint is stable under production workloads. The outcome of this RFC will be a new track of work to begin building and maintaining a testnet associated with the main branch of tendermint. See the "Testnet MVP" section specifically for some of the first milestones. Note, I added the RFC where it would live once #9115 is merged to restore the RFC layout from the v0.36.x branch. docs/rfc/README.md will need to be updated to include this RFC once #9115 is merged. This RFC is related to #9078. * docs/rfc: minor updates to testnet rfc * docs/rfc: respond to more feedback on testnet RFC * docs/rfc: add RFC 023 to rfc index

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. For more background, see What is Tendermint?.
To get started quickly with an example application, see the quick start guide.
To learn about application development on Tendermint, see the Application Blockchain Interface.
For more details on using Tendermint, see the respective documentation for Tendermint Core, benchmarking and monitoring, and network deployments.
