The Lightning Network Daemon (lnd), is a complete implementation of a Lightning Network node. lnd has several pluggable back-end chain services including btcd (a full-node), bitcoind, and neutrino (a new experimental light client). The project's codebase uses the btcsuite set of Bitcoin libraries and also exports a large set of isolated re-usable Lightning Network-related libraries within it, and fully conforms to the Lightning Network specification (BOLTs). BOLT stands for Basis of Lightning Technology. The specifications are currently being drafted by several groups of implementers based around the world including the developers of lnd. The set of specification documents as well as our implementation of the specification is still a work in progress. The daemon has been designed to be as developer-friendly as possible in order to facilitate application development on top of lnd. Two primary RPC interfaces are exported, an HTTP REST API, and a gRPC service.

Tendermint Core is a Byzantine Fault Tolerant (BFT) middleware that takes a state transition machine, written in any programming language, and securely replicates it on many machines. Building the most powerful tools for distributed networks. We are Tendermint, a core contributor to the Cosmos Network. Powerful & secure software for the decentralized future. Tendermint has been in the production of private and public environments, most notably the blockchains of the Cosmos Network. we haven't released v1.0 yet since we are making breaking changes to the protocol and the APIs. We also maintain a dedicated mailing list for security updates. We will only ever use this mailing list to notify you of vulnerabilities and fixes in Tendermint Core. Tendermint uses Semantic Versioning to determine when and how the version changes. According to SemVer, anything in the public API can change at any time before version 1.0.0.
