+Tendermint Core is Byzantine Fault Tolerant (BFT) middleware that takes an application, written in any programming language,
+and replicates it (ie. the latest state) on many machines.
+See the [application developers guide](guide://github.com/tendermint/tendermint/wiki/Application-Developers) to get started.
