how hyperledger burrow worked
hyperledger burrow was a software that was intended to be used to run nodes in a permissioned blockchain network because the participants in permissioned blockchains are known and trusted by the rest of the network it is possible to achieve higher speeds and throughput than permissionless chains while it was similar to many other hyperledger blockchain tools the focus for hyperledger burrow was to provide a clean and simple developer experience 1 the key component of hyperledger burrow was a permissioned implementation of the ethereum virtual machine which allowed it to interact with smart contracts on other ethereum based networks hyperledger burrow abandonedhyperledger burrow was reportedly also able to interact with the ethereum public chain since they share the same smart contract language burrow s developers planned to introduce a two way peg system with the ethereum mainnet allowing data and tokens to move seamlessly between chains this would theoretically have allowed hyperledger burrow to operate as a high speed sidechain to the public network there were also plans to integrate public staking when ethereum transitioned to a proof of stake model but by the time that happened in 2022 the project had been abandoned
