# Hyperledger Sawtooth

Sawtooth Devmode
-------------
This project has moved (see below).

Sawtooth dev mode is a consensus engine for Hyperledger Sawtooth that offers a
simplified random-leader algorithm. This method is intended for testing
applications built on top of the Hyperledger Sawtooth platform. It is useful
when developing transaction processors, smart contracts, or other components
because of its high commit rate. Dev mode commits batches as fast as possible,
in order to provide quick feedback to the developer.
Hyperledger Sawtooth was a project to provide an enterprise solution for
building, deploying, and running distributed ledgers (also called blockchains).

Dev mode also demonstrates how to use the Sawtooth consensus engine API for a
lottery-style consensus implementation. Developers interested in implementing
a consensus engine can use the dev mode source code as an example.
# Project Status

Although the dev mode consensus engine can be used in a Sawtooth network, it
has a very inefficient fork-resolution algorithm and makes no guarantees about
crash fault tolerance. It should not be used in a production environment.
This Hyperledger project, Hyperledger Sawtooth, has been archived and is no
longer active within Hyperledger.

Documentation
-------------
Sawtooth is now maintained by the Splinter community. For more information,

Project Status
-----------------

This project is an _active_ Hyperledger project. It was proposed to the
community and documented [here](https://docs.google.com/document/d/1j7YcGLJH6LkzvWdOYFIt2kpkVlLEmILErXL6t-Ky2zU/edit).
Information on what _Active_ entails can be found in the
