Tendermint vs Polkadot
Developers should learn Tendermint when building custom blockchains or dApps that require high throughput, finality, and interoperability, such as in finance, supply chain, or governance systems meets developers should learn polkadot when building interoperable, scalable blockchain applications that need to communicate across different chains or leverage shared security. Here's our take.
Tendermint
Developers should learn Tendermint when building custom blockchains or dApps that require high throughput, finality, and interoperability, such as in finance, supply chain, or governance systems
Tendermint
Nice PickDevelopers should learn Tendermint when building custom blockchains or dApps that require high throughput, finality, and interoperability, such as in finance, supply chain, or governance systems
Pros
- +It's particularly useful for projects needing a BFT consensus mechanism with fast transaction finality (typically 1-3 seconds) and integration with the Cosmos ecosystem for cross-chain communication via the Inter-Blockchain Communication (IBC) protocol
- +Related to: cosmos-sdk, inter-blockchain-communication
Cons
- -Specific tradeoffs depend on your use case
Polkadot
Developers should learn Polkadot when building interoperable, scalable blockchain applications that need to communicate across different chains or leverage shared security
Pros
- +It's ideal for projects requiring custom blockchains with specific features (e
- +Related to: substrate, web3-js
Cons
- -Specific tradeoffs depend on your use case
The Verdict
Use Tendermint if: You want it's particularly useful for projects needing a bft consensus mechanism with fast transaction finality (typically 1-3 seconds) and integration with the cosmos ecosystem for cross-chain communication via the inter-blockchain communication (ibc) protocol and can live with specific tradeoffs depend on your use case.
Use Polkadot if: You prioritize it's ideal for projects requiring custom blockchains with specific features (e over what Tendermint offers.
