* proto: add buf and protogen script - add buf with minimal changes - add protogen script to easier generate proto files Signed-off-by: Marko Baricevic <marbar3778@yahoo.com> * add protoc needs * add some needed shell cmds * remove buf from tools as it is not needed everytime * add proto lint and breakage to ci * add section in changelog and upgrading files * address pr comments * remove space in circle config * remove spaces in makefile comment * add section on contributing on how to work with proto * bump buf to 0.7 * test bufbuild image * test install make in bufbuild image * revert to tendermintdev image * Update Makefile Co-Authored-By: Anton Kaliaev <anton.kalyaev@gmail.com> Co-authored-by: Anton Kaliaev <anton.kalyaev@gmail.com>
Application BlockChain Interface (ABCI)
Blockchains are systems for multi-master state machine replication. ABCI is an interface that defines the boundary between the replication engine (the blockchain), and the state machine (the application). Using a socket protocol, a consensus engine running in one process can manage an application state running in another.
Previously, the ABCI was referred to as TMSP.
The community has provided a number of additional implementations, see the Tendermint Ecosystem
Installation & Usage
To get up and running quickly, see the getting started guide along with the abci-cli documentation which will go through the examples found in the examples directory.
Specification
A detailed description of the ABCI methods and message types is contained in:
Protocol Buffers
To compile the protobuf file, run (from the root of the repo):
make protoc_abci
See protoc --help and the Protocol Buffers site
for details on compiling for other languages. Note we also include a GRPC
service definition.
