# 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This Hyperledger project, Hyperledger Sawtooth, has been archived and is no | ||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. | ||

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 | ||
