# Consensus
|
|
|
|
Specification of the consensus protocol implemented in CometBFT.
|
|
|
|
## Contents
|
|
|
|
- [Consensus Paper](./consensus-paper) - Latex paper on
|
|
[arxiv](https://arxiv.org/abs/1807.04938) describing the
|
|
Tendermint consensus algorithm, adopted in CometBFT, with proofs of safety and termination.
|
|
- [BFT Time](./bft-time.md) - How the timestamp in a CometBFT
|
|
block header is computed in a Byzantine Fault Tolerant manner
|
|
- [Creating Proposal](./creating-proposal.md) - How a proposer
|
|
creates a block proposal for consensus
|
|
- [Light Client Protocol](./light-client) - A protocol for light weight consensus
|
|
verification and syncing to the latest state
|
|
- [Validator Signing](./signing.md) - Rules for cryptographic signatures
|
|
produced by validators.
|
|
- [Write Ahead Log](./wal.md) - Write ahead log used by the
|
|
consensus state machine to recover from crashes.
|
|
|
|
There is also a [stale markdown description](consensus.md) of the consensus state machine
|
|
(TODO update this).
