how hyperledger sawtooth works
sawtooth enables selective permissions that is one can easily deploy certain select clusters of sawtooth nodes with different permissions on the same blockchain the ledger stores the necessary details about the permissions nodes and identities the operating performance of the sawtooth network is boosted by the mechanism of parallel transaction execution which has an upper hand over the serial execution mechanism that often is a bottleneck when dealing with high volumes of transactions on many popular cryptocurrency networks sawtooth supports proof of elapsed time poet consensus mechanism that offers benefits of low resource utilization and low energy consumption and is commonly used on the permissioned blockchain networks to decide the mining rights or the block winners on the network for more see proof of elapsed time 2 some real world examples using sawtooth based applications include sawtooth supply chain which helps an enterprise keep track of contextual and logistics related information of an asset represented on the blockchain sawtooth marketplace which helps participants trade in specified quantities of digital assets on the blockchain and sawtooth private utxo which facilitates digital asset creation and trading including off ledger and privately held transactions
