 [Tendermint](https://docs.tendermint.com/v0.34/introduction/what-is-tendermint.html) is an application-agnostic engine that is responsible for handling the *networking* and *consensus* layers of a blockchain. In practice, this means that Tendermint is responsible for propagating and ordering transaction bytes. Tendermint Core relies on an eponymous Byzantine-Fault-Tolerant (BFT) algorithm to reach consensus on the order of transactions. 
 
-The Tendermint [consensus algorithm](https://docs.tendermint.com/master/introduction/what-is-tendermint.html#consensus-overview) works with a set of special nodes called *Validators*. Validators are responsible for adding blocks of transactions to the blockchain. At any given block, there is a validator set V. A validator in V is chosen by the algorithm to be the proposer of the next block. This block is considered valid if more than two thirds of V signed a *[prevote](https://docs.tendermint.com/master/spec/consensus/consensus.html#prevote-step-height-h-round-r)* and a *[precommit](https://docs.tendermint.com/master/spec/consensus/consensus.html#precommit-step-height-h-round-r)* on it, and if all the transactions that it contains are valid. The validator set can be changed by rules written in the state-machine.

-- `CheckTx`: When a transaction is received by Tendermint Core, it is passed to the application to check if a few basic requirements are met. `CheckTx` is used to protect the mempool of full-nodes against spam transactions. A special handler called the [`AnteHandler`](../basics/gas-fees.md#antehandler) is used to execute a series of validation steps such as checking for sufficient fees and validating the signatures. If the checks are valid, the transaction is added to the [mempool](https://docs.tendermint.com/master/tendermint-core/mempool.html#mempool) and relayed to peer nodes. Note that transactions are not processed (i.e. no modification of the state occurs) with `CheckTx` since they have not been included in a block yet. 
-- `DeliverTx`: When a [valid block](https://docs.tendermint.com/master/spec/blockchain/blockchain.html#validation) is received by Tendermint Core, each transaction in the block is passed to the application via `DeliverTx` in order to be processed. It is during this stage that the state transitions occur. The `AnteHandler` executes again along with the actual [`Msg` service methods](../building-modules/msg-services.md) for each message in the transaction.

  - `BeginBlock`/`EndBlock`: These messages are executed at the beginning and the end of each block, whether the block contains transaction or not. It is useful to trigger automatic execution of logic. Proceed with caution though, as computationally expensive loops could slow down your blockchain, or even freeze it if the loop is infinite.

 Any application built on Tendermint needs to implement the ABCI interface in order to communicate with the underlying local Tendermint engine. Fortunately, you do not have to implement the ABCI interface. The Cosmos SDK provides a boilerplate implementation of it in the form of [baseapp](./sdk-design.md#baseapp).

 - Developers can choose among multiple frameworks to build their state-machine. The most widely used today is the Cosmos SDK, but others exist (e.g. [Lotion](https://github.com/nomic-io/lotion), [Weave](https://github.com/iov-one/weave), ...). The choice will most of the time be done based on the programming language they want to use (Cosmos SDK and Weave are in Golang, Lotion is in Javascript, ...).
 - The ABCI also allows developers to swap the consensus engine of their application-specific blockchain. Today, only Tendermint is production-ready, but in the future other consensus engines are expected to emerge.
 - Even when they settle for a framework and consensus engine, developers still have the freedom to tweak them if they don't perfectly match their requirements in their pristine forms.
