Description

Hyperledger is an open source collaborative effort created to advance cross-industry blockchain technologies. Hyperledger Sawtooth is an open source modular platform hosted by Hyperledger for building, deploying, and running distributed ledgers. Hyperledger Sawtooth is the second active project under Hyperledger to hit 1.0 production level. Kelly Olson offers an overview of Hyperledger Sawtooth, shares current development efforts on the project, explains how to get started with the code, and details different ways you can contribute to Hyperledger Sawtooth 1.0.

Topics include:

  • On-chain governance: Utilize smart contracts to vote on blockchain configuration settings such as the allowed participants and smart contracts
  • Advanced transaction execution engine: Process transactions in parallel to accelerate block creation and validation
  • Support for Ethereum: Run solidity smart contracts and integrate with Ethereum tooling
  • Dynamic consensus: Upgrade or swap the blockchain consensus protocol on the fly as your network grows, enabling the integration of more scalable algorithms as they are available
