Presenting Tendermint: Idiosyncrasies, Weaknesses, and Good Practices

Abstract

Blockchain technology as a tool to improve the structure and functioning of electricity markets Literary review focused on how blockchain technology is applied in the most important electricity markets around the world, since it has become one of the most influential tools in the transformation that this sector is experiencing and one of the most revolutionary within technologies framed in what is now known as the Fourth Industrial Revolution. This in order to identify and try to anticipate the possible impacts on the structure of the energy market in Colombia and the regulatory base on which it works, in order to particularize and take references that help to constitute the energy transition that is already underway. is giving in the country.A systematic literature search was carried out in order to collect, synthesize and analyze the studies and empirical evidence on the subject, mainly in the countries that stood out worldwide for being the most innovative, allowing a deeper interpretation of the data.According to the registered information, many startups that are dedicated to researching the subject and developing blockchain implementations in controlled energy systems were evidenced, where significant contributions have been observed in the quality, timeliness, efficiency and dynamism of the electricity market, however before to achieve large implementations it is clear that some issues must be solved and defined, for example regulatory aspects.

Blockchain-Oriented Software Variant Forks: A Preliminary Study

“…The eighth repository (Table I) is a middleware for the application-based blockchain platform that uses a Byzantine Fault Tolerant (BFT) consensus algorithm, Tendermint [24] (tendermint/tendermint). Since applicationbased blockchains (such as Tendermint, and Hyperledger Fabric) have major differences from public blockchain platforms (such as Ethereum, and BitCoin), we were expecting to observe different reasons for the creation of variants.…”

​Durna: Achieving Cloud of Clouds by integrating Blockchain and Software Defined Storage

“…• Simplicity: Tendermint provides a concise language agnostic interface called ABCI for interacting with its core consensus engine. ABCI make developing application-specific logic simpler [58]. • Robustness: Tendermint has been tested and proven in real-world blockchains like Cosmos and Binance chain it proves its robustness and reliability [59].…”

Distributed Ledger Technologies for Network Slicing: A Survey

“…Tendermint is an application-based Blockchain with a default BFT consensus [120], [121], which enables users to turn any deterministic application into a Blockchain application through the use of the Tendermint BFT state-machine replication. In particular, an application is adapted to use an Application BlockChain Interface (ABCI) in order to communicate any state-transition in the form of transactions to the Tendermint Blockchain.Unlike Bitcoin, Tendermint adds blocks through voting of validator nodes.…”
