# Block Structure
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The tendermint consensus engine records all agreements by a
|
|
|
|
|
supermajority of nodes into a blockchain, which is replicated among all
|
|
|
|
|
nodes. This blockchain is accessible via various rpc endpoints, mainly
|
|
|
|
|
`/block?height=` to get the full block, as well as
|
|
|
|
|
`/blockchain?minHeight=_&maxHeight=_` to get a list of headers. But what
|
|
|
|
|
exactly is stored in these blocks?

|
The [specification](../spec/blockchain/blockchain.md) contains a detailed description of each component - that's the best place to get started.
