Blockchain Technology Partners has teamed up with Digital Asset to deliver DAML Smart Contracts for Hyperledger Sawtooth deployed and managed on Kubernetes using its blockchain management platform Sextant.
One of the great things about being a member of the Linux Foundation is that you are part of a vibrant global community that is home to open source projects in a wide range of ecosystems and host to an impressive array of events worldwide.
A case in point is Blockchain Technology Partners (BTP) which, like a number of our Hyperledger members, is also an active participant in the CNCF, aka Cloud Native Computing Foundation. Its founding team recognized early on that the only way to make blockchain technology more accessible and easier to adopt was to address the operational challenges that they could see lying in wait for enterprises. With their team’s background in open source, operations and cloud, BTP quickly realised that CNCF’s Kubernetes was the perfect match for Hyperledger Sawtooth. This led to the creation of Sextant, their blockchain management platform that radically simplifies the development, deployment and ongoing management of blockchain-based enterprise applications.
The power of open source collaboration doesn’t end there as BTP have now teamed up with Digital Asset to bring DAML Smart Contracts to Hyperledger Sawtooth – integrating their open source DAML runtime with Sawtooth, similar to the way the Sawtooth Ethereum (SETH) project integrates the Burrow EVM with Sawtooth, and handling its deployment and management with Sextant.
