Tendermint Core is a Byzantine Fault Tolerant (BFT) middleware that takes a state transition machine - written in any programming language - and securely replicates it on many machines.
Tenderdash is a Byzantine Fault Tolerant (BFT) middleware that takes a state transition machine -

For protocol details, refer to the [Tendermint Specification](./spec/README.md).
## Background

For detailed analysis of the consensus protocol, including safety and liveness proofs,
read our paper, "[The latest gossip on BFT consensus](https://arxiv.org/abs/1807.04938)".
Tenderdash started as a fork of the [Tendermint Core](https://www.github.com/tendermint/tendermint)
project and has been used in public environments such as the Cosmos Network. Although based on
Tendermint, Tenderdash differs from Tendermint through its use of Dash's [long-living masternode
quorums (LLMQs)](https://github.com/dashpay/dips/blob/master/dip-0006.md) to support threshold
signatures, quorum-based voting, and dynamic validator set rotation. These enhancements to support
rapid transaction finality and maintain strong security guarantees make Tenderdash ideal for Dash
Platform’s needs.

## Releases

Please do not depend on master as your production branch. Use [releases](https://github.com/tendermint/tendermint/releases) instead.

Tendermint has been in the production of private and public environments, most notably the blockchains of the Cosmos Network. we haven't released v1.0 yet since we are making breaking changes to the protocol and the APIs.
See below for more details about [versioning](#versioning).

In any case, if you intend to run Tendermint in production, we're happy to help. You can
contact us [over email](mailto:[email protected]) or [join the chat](https://discord.gg/cosmosnetwork).

More on how releases are conducted can be found [here](./RELEASES.md).
Please do not depend on master as your production branch. Use the binaries provided on the [GitHub
releases page](https://github.com/dashpay/tenderdash/releases) instead.

## Security
## Install

To report a security vulnerability, see our [bug bounty
program](https://hackerone.com/cosmos).
For examples of the kinds of bugs we're looking for, see [our security policy](SECURITY.md).
See the [install instructions](./docs/introduction/install.md). Make sure to meet the minimum
requirements if installing from source.

We also maintain a dedicated mailing list for security updates. We will only ever use this mailing list
to notify you of vulnerabilities and fixes in Tendermint Core. You can subscribe [here](http://eepurl.com/gZ5hQD).

## Versioning

### Semantic Versioning

Tendermint uses [Semantic Versioning](http://semver.org/) to determine when and how the version changes.
According to SemVer, anything in the public API can change at any time before version 1.0.0
Tenderdash uses [Semantic Versioning](http://semver.org/) to determine when and how the version
changes.

To provide some stability to users of 0.X.X versions of Tendermint, the MINOR version is used
to signal breaking changes across Tendermint's API. This API includes all
publicly exposed types, functions, and methods in non-internal Go packages as well as
the types and methods accessible via the Tendermint RPC interface.

Breaking changes to these public APIs will be documented in the CHANGELOG.

### Upgrades

In an effort to avoid accumulating technical debt prior to 1.0.0,
we do not guarantee that breaking changes (ie. bumps in the MINOR version)
will work with existing Tendermint blockchains. In these cases you will
have to start a new blockchain, or write something custom to get the old
data into the new chain. However, any bump in the PATCH version should be
compatible with existing blockchain histories.

For more information on upgrading, see [UPGRADING.md](./UPGRADING.md).

### Supported Versions

Because we are a small core team, we only ship patch updates, including security updates,
to the most recent minor release and the second-most recent minor release. Consequently,
we strongly recommend keeping Tendermint up-to-date. Upgrading instructions can be found
in [UPGRADING.md](./UPGRADING.md).
