📶Consensus Process

The consensus process of ME-Tendermint follows the Tendermint consensus mechanism used by Cosmos. Each block is submitted by a group of known validator nodes, and a block is successfully committed only when the number of signing validators exceeds 2/3 of the total number of validators. The membership and weight of this group of validator nodes change over time and are not fixed. As long as the malicious or faulty nodes within this group constitute less than 1/3 of the total weight, ME-Tendermint can ensure the security of the blockchain.

The consensus process is illustrated as follows:
