Consensus Engine: Tendermint Core
Tendermint Core powers Lylo’s consensus and networking layer. It runs a Byzantine Fault Tolerant (BFT) consensus algorithm and uses a peer-to-peer gossip protocol to propagate transactions and validator messages efficiently across the network.
Validators remain synchronized and blocks finalize within seconds — even when up to one-third of nodes are offline or behaving maliciously.
Decoupled architecture Consensus and application logic operate independently. Lylo handles intent parsing, smart accounts, and function execution at the application layer, while Tendermint manages block production, ordering, and finality.
Fast block finality Blocks confirm in seconds, enabling responsive user flows and seamless cross-chain execution.
Proof-of-stake security Validators stake Lylo’s native token to secure the network. Rewards are issued for participation; slashing applies for downtime or malicious behavior.
Energy-efficient performance Consensus is achieved without computational waste, allowing the network to scale securely while minimizing energy use.
Intent-based execution requires fast confirmation, secure coordination, and predictable finality — all of which Tendermint provides by design. Combined with Lylo’s custom modules and smart account system, the result is a performant, production-ready environment for AI-native, cross-chain applications.
