Ethereum developers could soon have another way to build enterprise-grade implementations of the open-source technology.
Revealed today on Hyperledger's website, a proof-of-concept called Sawtooth Ethereum, or "Seth" for short, has been completed. The proof-of-concept looks to enable the use of ethereum smart contracts on Hyperledger Sawtooth, Intel's addition to the Linux-led consortium's code.

And while the technological hybrid has technological implications, Brian Behlendorf, the executive director of Hyperledger, chose to describe it more broadly as a success for the consortium itself.
Behlendorf told CoinDesk:
"[Hyperledger] isn't just a collection of farm animals in one big barn. There really is a point to bringing these communities together and having them work out organically how they might sit on top of one another and be components into a broader architectural vision."
Other open-source frameworks within Hyperledger include Hyperledger Fabric, contributed by IBM; Hyperledger Iroha, contributed by Soramitsu; and Hyperledger Indy, contributed by the Sovrin Foundation.
Key collaborations
Elsewhere, there's other evidence to suggest Sawtooth Ethereum is proof that Hyperledger is growing organically in the way Behlendorf described.
Hyperledger Sawtooth’s interchangeable consensus mechanism enabled the platform to be more easily integrated with Burrow, Monax’s implementation of the ethereum virtual machine.
Because of this integration, ethereum developers with existing smart contracts are expected to be able to "transition their work to the Hyperledger Sawtooth platform" eventually, according to the blog post on the launch.
Monax co-founder, Casey Kuhlman, said in the post:
"Hyperledger Burrow has long been positioned to provide a core EVM that would then be utilized by other Hyperledger projects. This integration validates that positioning, and establishes a strong upstream-downstream relationship between the Sawtooth and Burrow projects."

Pudgy Penguins is building a multi-vertical consumer IP platform — combining phygital products, games, NFTs and PENGU to monetize culture at scale.
What to know:
Pudgy Penguins is emerging as one of the strongest NFT-native brands of this cycle, shifting from speculative “digital luxury goods” into a multi-vertical consumer IP platform. Its strategy is to acquire users through mainstream channels first; toys, retail partnerships and viral media, then onboard them into Web3 through games, NFTs and the PENGU token.
The ecosystem now spans phygital products (> $13M retail sales and >1M units sold), games and experiences (Pudgy Party surpassed 500k downloads in two weeks), and a widely distributed token (airdropped to 6M+ wallets). While the market is currently pricing Pudgy at a premium relative to traditional IP peers, sustained success depends on execution across retail expansion, gaming adoption and deeper token utility.

Rollercoaster bitcoin price moves end up liquidating $1.7 billion in bullish crypto bets
More than $1.7 billion in leveraged positions were liquidated in 24 hours as bitcoin fell to $81,000, with long bets accounting for nearly all the damage amid macro jitters and Fed chair speculation.
What to know:
- More than $1.68 billion in leveraged crypto positions were liquidated in 24 hours, with about 267,000 traders forced out of trades.
- Long positions accounted for nearly 93 percent of the wipeout, led by roughly $780 million in bitcoin and $414 million in ether liquidations.
- Analysts say the sell-off was driven less by new bearish sentiment than by overcrowded leverage unwinding, flushing out speculative excess and reducing forced flows in the market.
