Tendermint

Tendermint - is a blockchain protocol with an open-source code used for building blockchain applications with any programming language securely and consistently. The protocol provides the networking and consensus layers of blockchains as a platform to develop different dApps.

That massively helps developers concentrate  on the blockchain's application layer instead of working on both the consensus and the networking layers simultaneously.
