base on CometBFT: A distributed, Byzantine fault-tolerant, deterministic state machine replication engine. A fork and successor to Tendermint Core. # CometBFT [Byzantine-Fault Tolerant][bft] [State Machine Replication][smr]. Or [Blockchain], for short.

In modular blockchain terminology, CometBFT can be thought of as a sequencer layer and is indeed used in modern decentralized (shared) sequencer implementations. CometBFT is the canonical implementation of the Tendermint consensus algorithm and is a primary building block for the [Interchain Stack](https://interchain.io/). Historically, CometBFT originated as a fork of [Tendermint Core][tm-core] in early 2023 (announcement [here][comet-announcement]) and since then it diverged significantly by adopting modern features such as [PBTS][pbts] or [ABCI v2][abci-v2]. CometBFT provides [optimistic responsiveness][optimistic-responsive] guarantees. For protocol details, refer to the [CometBFT Specification](./spec/README.md). For detailed analysis of the Tendermint consensus protocol, including safety and liveness proofs, read our paper, "[The latest gossip on BFT consensus](https://arxiv.org/abs/1807.04938)".

Use [releases](https://github.com/cometbft/cometbft/releases) instead. If you intend to run CometBFT in production, we're happy to help. To contact us, in order of preference: - [Create a new discussion on GitHub](https://github.com/cometbft/cometbft/discussions) - Reach out to us via [Telegram](https://t.me/CometBFT) - [Join the Cosmos Network Discord](https://discord.gg/interchain) and discuss in [`#cometbft`](https://discord.com/channels/669268347736686612/1069933855307472906) More on how releases are conducted can be found [here](./RELEASES.md). ## Support Policy CometBFT aligns with other components of the [Interchain Stack](https://interchain.io/) and we offer long-term support (LTS) guarantees for certain releases. The complete End of Life (EOL) schedule, LTS plans, and the general support policy is in documented and regularly updated in the discussion [Support policy for CometBFT releases #590](https://github.com/cometbft/cometbft/discussions/590). ## Security Please see [SECURITY.md](./SECURITY.md). ## Minimum requirements | CometBFT version | Requirement | Version | Tested with | |------------------|-------------|----------------|--------------| | main | Go version | 1.23 or higher | up to 1.23.1 | | v1.x | Go version | 1.23 or higher | up to 1.23.1 | | v0.38.x | Go version | 1.22 or higher | up to 1.22 | | v0.37.x | Go version | 1.22 or higher | up to 1.22 | | v0.34.x | Go version | 1.22 or higher | up to 1.22 | ### Install See the [install guide](docs/tutorials/install.md). ### Quick Start - [Single node](docs/tutorials/quick-start.md) ## Contributing Please abide by the [Code of Conduct](CODE_OF_CONDUCT.md) in all interactions. Before contributing to the project, please take a look at the [contributing guidelines](CONTRIBUTING.md) and the [style guide](STYLE_GUIDE.md). You may also find it helpful to read the [specifications](./spec/README.md), and familiarize yourself with our [Architectural Decision Records (ADRs)](docs/references/architecture/README.md) and [Request For Comments (RFCs)](docs/references/rfc/README.md). ## Versioning As of v1, CometBFT uses the following approach to versioning: - **Major version** bumps, such as v1.0.0 to v2.0.0, would generally involve changes that _force_ users to perform a coordinated upgrade in order to use the new version, such as protocol-breaking changes (e.g. changes to how block hashes are computed and thus what the network considers to be "valid blocks", or how the consensus protocol works, or changes that affect network-level compatibility between nodes, etc.). - **Minor version** bumps, such as v1.1.0 to v1.2.0, are reserved for rolling out new features or substantial changes that do not force a coordinated upgrade (i.e. not protocol-breaking), but could potentially break Go APIs. - **Patch version** bumps, such as v1.0.0 to v1.0.1, are reserved for bug/security fixes that are not protocol- or Go API-breaking. ### Upgrades We do not guarantee compatibility between major releases of CometBFT. Minor releases of the same major release series (v1.1, v1.2, etc.) should, unless otherwise specified, be compatible with each other. Patch releases of the same minor release series (v1.0.1, v1.0.2, etc.) are guaranteed to be compatible with each other. For more detailed information on upgrading from one version to another, see [UPGRADING.md](./UPGRADING.md). ### Supported Versions Because we are a small core team, we have limited capacity to ship patch updates, including security updates. Consequently, we strongly recommend keeping CometBFT up-to-date. Upgrading instructions can be found in [UPGRADING.md](./UPGRADING.md). Currently supported versions include: - v1.x: Currently in pre-release with no guarantees as to API stability until a release candidate is cut. See [RELEASES.md](./RELEASES.md) for details on our process as to API stability guarantees that can be expected of CometBFT pre-releases. - v0.38.x: CometBFT v0.38 introduces ABCI 2.0, which implements the entirety of ABCI++ - v0.37.x: CometBFT v0.37 introduces ABCI 1.0, which is the first major step towards the full ABCI++ implementation in ABCI 2.0 - v0.34.x: The CometBFT v0.34 series is compatible with the Tendermint Core v0.34 series ## Resources ### Libraries - [Cosmos SDK](http://github.com/cosmos/cosmos-sdk): A framework for building high-value public blockchain applications in Go - [Tendermint in Rust](https://github.com/informalsystems/tendermint-rs) - [ABCI Tower](https://github.com/penumbra-zone/tower-abci) ### Applications - [Cosmos Hub](https://hub.cosmos.network/) - [Celestia](https://celestia.org/) - [Anoma](https://anoma.network/) - [Vocdoni](https://developer.vocdoni.io/) ### Research Below are links to the original Tendermint consensus algorithm and relevant whitepapers, which CometBFT will continue to build on. - [The latest gossip on BFT consensus](https://arxiv.org/abs/1807.04938) - [Master's Thesis on Tendermint](https://atrium.lib.uoguelph.ca/xmlui/handle/10214/9769) - [Original Whitepaper: "Tendermint: Consensus Without Mining"](https://tendermint.com/static/docs/tendermint.pdf) ## Join us CometBFT is currently maintained by [Informal Systems](https://informal.systems).
