Cosmos is a parallel network where chains are supported by, for example, Tendermint consensus. Spaces in the cosmos ecosystem can communicate, trade, and interoperate with each other. the vision of Cosmos is to break down barriers between blockchains and create an internet of blockchains that will be the preferred platform for a variety of practical usage scenarios. This implementation is accompanied by the development of a series of system tools, including Tendermint, the Cosmos SDK, IBC, and communication between Hubs and Zones, implemented through the IBC protocol. Tendermint BFT is a solution that packages the network and consensus layers of the blockchain so that developers only need to focus on the application layer and not the underlying protocol. This developer-friendly design may not seem new in today’s world of public chains, but if you consider that the idea first emerged in late 2014, it’s natural to understand the forward-thinking nature of cosmos.
Furthermore, the main benefit of the Tendermint consensus algorithm is that it has a secure and easy light client end, which makes it an ideal tool for mobile and IoT use cases. the Tendermint light client end simply aligns with the changes in the validation group and then verifies the pre-committed +⅔ in the latest block to determine the latest situation. In conclusion, cross-chain is not all about comos, Tendermint technology also puts a lot of effort in saving development time. The properties of Tendermint BFT apply to public and private chains, Tendermint BFT handles only the network and consensus of the blockchain, nodes propagate transactions and validators agree on a set of transactions to attach to the blockchain, and can handle thousands of transactions. COSMOS is built on Tendermint’s BPOS+PBFT consensus mechanism. The mechanism involves a validator and a proponent, while PBFT is used to confirm the validity of the block, the number of collateral tokens determines the power of the validator voting weight process, and BPOS is used to distribute the power of the validator. Tendermint uses an optimal Byzantine fault-tolerant algorithm selected by an absolute two-thirds majority of votes.
Custer network is a new generation of public chain infrastructure, so it is especially critical to meet the interaction between blockchain and blockchain and between distributed applications and blockchain. custer network follows the Cosmos ecological IBC protocol, based on the optimization and upgrading of the IBC protocol, launched the IBC2.0 protocol.
