Tendermit: Consensus without mining by Jae Kwon

"Tendermint is awesome. The future is now"

Today we're diving into the original whitepaper on modern proof of stake blockchains: Tendermint. This paper from 2014 lays the groundwork for many of the proof of stake blockchains that come after and is the basis for the entire Cosmos ecosystem.

We'll breakdown why proof of stake over proof of work how consensus is reached and the game models and theory for cooperation in the system. This is a great place to start from when you're exploring what proof of stake is and how it works, in depth.
