Hyperledger<\/a> is a collaborative cross-industry effort to advance blockchain technology that is hosted by The Linux Foundation. Today, January 30, 2018, sees the release of Sawtooth 1.0, the second active Hyperledger project to reach 1.0, following Hyperledger Fabric 1.0 in July 2017.<\/p>\n

Sawtooth is a modular platform for building, deploying and running distributed ledgers using a new consensus algorithm, Proof of Elapsed Time (PoET), which targets large distributed validator populations with minimal resource consumption. Sawtooth was originally contributed by Intel<\/a> and saw its graduation<\/a> from \u201cIncubation\u201d to \u201cActive\u201d status in May 2017. <\/p>\n

“We\u2019re beyond excited to see not one but two of Hyperledger\u2019s active projects hit 1.0,\u201d said Brian Behlendorf, executive director of Hyperledger. “This is a huge testament to the strong collaboration of our growing community – I look forward to seeing even more products and services being powered by Hyperledger Sawtooth later this year.\u201d<\/p>\n

Sawtooth 1.0 introduces a number of new enterprise features:<\/p>\n
