Consensus and Core: Cosmos SDK & Tendermint
Tendermint Consensus Engine
MUD uses Tendermint, a high-performance BFT state machine replication system with the following advantages:
High throughput and low latency: Thousands of transactions per second; ~1 second confirmation
Instant finality: Confirmed transactions are irreversible without waiting for multiple blocks
Energy-efficient: 99.9% lower energy consumption than PoW
Fault tolerance: Operates safely with up to one-third malicious or faulty nodes
Modular Design with Cosmos SDK
MUD is built on Cosmos SDK using a modular architecture including:
Auth: Account management and signature verification
Bank: Token transfer and balance management
Staking: Validator staking and rewards
Gov: On-chain governance infrastructure
Custom Modules: Dynamic identity system, RWA asset mapping module
This structure allows seamless upgrade and flexible feature addition without compromising system stability.
