CometBFT (Tendermint) cryptocurrencies

CometBFT, the continuation of Tendermint Core, is the consensus engine behind most Cosmos SDK chains. Validators chosen by stake propose a block and vote on it in rounds; once validators holding more than two thirds of the voting power have signed, the block is final. There are no forks to wait out.

Snapshot
28 October 2026

Stake decides who the validators are and a vote decides each block, so the site files these chains under proof of stake, the family that makes their blocks, and lists them again among the BFT chains, for how their blocks become final. The trade-off runs the other way from proof of work: if more than a third of the voting power goes offline, the chain stops producing blocks instead of splitting. Tendermint Core was forked and renamed CometBFT in 2023.

Questions

Which cryptocurrencies use CometBFT?

38 in the CoinSpectrum ranking as of 28 October 2026: Cronos (CRO), Cosmos Hub (ATOM), Injective (INJ), Celestia (TIA), Provenance Blockchain (HASH), Sei (SEI), Terra Luna Classic (LUNC), THORChain (RUNE), Akash Network (AKT), dYdX (DYDX), Kava (KAVA), Babylon (BABY) and 26 more. Tokens never count — only chains with their own blockchain and consensus.

Is CometBFT proof of stake or BFT?

Both, answering two different questions. Stake decides who the validators are, which makes CometBFT chains proof of stake, the family they are filed in. A Byzantine-fault-tolerant vote decides each block, final once validators with more than two thirds of the voting power sign it, which puts them on the list of BFT chains as well.

How fast are CometBFT chains?

The median target block time among the 28 chains here that publish one is 6s, from 0.4s to 12s.
