⚛️ What is Tendermint?
#Tendermint BFT is a solution that packages the networking and consensus layers of a #blockchain into a generic engine, allowing developers to focus on application development as opposed to the complex underlying #protocol.

As a result, Tendermint saves hundreds of hours of development time. Note that Tendermint also designates the name of the byzantine fault tolerant (BFT)consensus algorithm used within the Tendermint BFT engine.

⚛️ What is the Cosmos SDK?
The Cosmos SDK is a generalized #framework that simplifies the process of building secure blockchain applications on top of Tendermint BFT. It is based on two major principles:
✅Modularity
✅Capabilities-based security

Tendermint BFT reduces the development time of a blockchain from years to weeks, but building a secure ABCI-app from scratch remains a difficult task. This is why the Cosmos SDK exists

⚛️ What is IBC (Layer 0)?
Now that developers have a way to quickly build customized blockchains, let us see how to connect these blockchains together. The connection between blockchains is achieved through a protocol called Inter-Blockchain Communication #protocol (IBC).

IBC leverages the instant finality property of Tendermint consensus (although it can work with any “fast-finality” blockchain engine) to allow heterogeneous chains to transfer value (i.e. tokens) or #data to each other.
