Before we were storing trustedHeader (height=1) and trustedNextVals (height=2). After this change, we will be storing trustedHeader (height=1) and trustedVals (height=1). This a) simplifies the code b) fixes #4399 inconsistent pairing issue c) gives a relayer access to the current validator set #4470. The only downside is more jumps during bisection. If validator set changes between trustedHeader and the next header (by 2/3 or more), the light client will be forced to download the next header and check that 2/3+ signed the transition. But we don't expect validator set change too much and too often, so it's an acceptable compromise. Closes #4470 and #4399
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.
