Four documents, the same five questions.
No throughput league table and no yield. The cells are what this library is willing to say about the text.
| Question | CometBFT: the consensus implementation in the Tendermint line |
|---|---|
| What the text proposes | CometBFT is the software specification of the Tendermint-style consensus many chains run. The 2018 Tendermint paper is the ancestor. This is the implementation's document. |
| Who may write | CometBFT maintainers |
| What is settled | Rounds, prevotes, and precommits are the steps. A block is committed when a polka of precommits exists, in the language of this family. |
| Load-bearing assumption | This note does not say any named chain has upgraded to a particular version. |
| What this library says afterwards | A reading of the project's public design document. Not a copy, not a benchmark, and not an offer. |
