Building trust in distributed systems: how Tendermint powers consensus in blockchains

​In this talk, we'll explore the challenges of distributing work across multiple machines, especially when they need to agree on a single source of truth.

​We'll explore how consensus protocols address these challenges to maintain consistency and reliability. We'll also take a closer look at Tendermint (now also known as CometBFT) and it's role in building byzantine-fault resistant systems.

​There will be hands-on examples, to demonstrate how to build a Go application replicated across a peer to peer network, even in adversarial conditions.

​This approach forms the backbone of blockchains systems built with framework like the Cosmos SD.

​Antonio Pitasi will be presenting this one. He is a backend software engineer specializing in Go. His past experience includes working at Tendermint and Qredo, where he developed blockchains and infrastructure for decentralized applications.

​Antonio is also the cofounder of Warden Protocol, a novel Layer 1 blockchain enabling developers to build AI agents directly on-chain.
