Sextant for Sawtooth Overview

BTP has identified Hyperledger Sawtooth as the best emerging open source blockchain technology on the basis of its support for smart contracts; its pluggable consensus mechanism; and its scalable, highly modular architecture - in particular the clear separation between the network and the application tiers which makes it exceptionally easy for developers to create new transaction processors leveraging existing code and applying programming best practices.

BTP Paralos

In 2020 BTP announced BTP Paralos - its freely available, enterprise-grade distribution of Hyperledger Sawtooth. BTP Paralos is 100% open source and is based on Hyperledger Sawtooth 1.1.5 and Sawtooth PBFT 1.0.1. BTP is committed to contributing any BTP Paralos enhancements or refinements to these upstream projects.

The code is hosted on Github and freely available, prebuilt Docker images are published periodically on Docker Hub. * GitHub — https://github.com/blockchaintp * Docker Hub — https://hub.docker.com/orgs/blockchaintp
