SNARK friendly Tendermint BFT consensus protocol by Supragya Raj and Bo Du

A novel consensus overlay that brings SNARK friendliness on top of traditional Tendermint BFT consensus protocol that powers chains like CosmosHub, IrisNet and Aakash could help these chains connect to Ethereum. Our work brings this novel overlay for the community making cross chain communication possible at scale with no intermediate chain or additional trust assumption. Added to this there are no additional trust assumptions and state verification costs are low (in order of few dollars or less)
