Project:
Hyperledger Sawtooth
The following work is currently in progress:
- Create a new consensus library that will be used by the Sawtooth validator
- Improve Sabre performance by implementing state caching in Transact for large pieces of state, such as smart contracts.
- Sawtooth 2 component designs
- Migrate to Github Issues, away from JIRA.
- Rewriting the Sawtooth CLI in Rust (paused)

| Description | Distributed ledger with Multi-Language Support |
Originally contributed by Intel, Sawtooth is a blockchain suite designed for versatility and scalability. Distributed Ledger Technology has potential in many fields with use cases from IoT to Financials. This architecture recognizes the diversity of requirements across that spectrum. Sawtooth supports both permissioned and permissionless deployments. It includes a novel consensus algorithm, Proof of Elapsed Time (PoET). PoET targets large distributed validator populations with minimal resource consumption. Transaction business logic is decoupled from the consensus layer into Transaction Families that allow for restricted or unfettered semantics.
Key Characteristics
Pluggable consensus algorithms (Change consensus on the fly by transaction)
Includes Proof of Elapsed Time (PoET) consensus
Write smart contracts in almost any language
Ethereum contract support via Hyperledger Burrow integration
Supply Chain example out of the box
Parallel transaction execution for added throughput
