2022 Q1 Hyperledger Transact
Hyperledger Transact - https://github.com/hyperledger/transact
Project Health
Health is good. In the last quarter there were 2 releases and the Sawtooth Sabre transaction handler was moved over. This allows for simplification of dependencies for projects using Transact and Sabre.

- Transact workload improvements
- Reduced the CPU usage
- Added remaining duration of the run to the logs
- Stabilized the "workload-batch-gen" feature in libtransact
Current Plans
Next steps include:
- Add state caching to improve read performance with large state values
- Re-evaluate threading model for batch scheduling and execution
- Setup a documentation site to help explain/advocate the project
Future:
- Add a next-generation smart contract API / simplified smart contracts (cross-project with Sawtooth, in progress)
