Overall Activity in the Past Quarter

Contributors submitted a complex PR to the Go SDK to add consensus engine support, which was one of the largest non-maintainer PRs to have been submitted to Sawtooth. A re-implementation of dev mode consensus was included as an example.

The community continues to discuss Sawtooth-related issues on Discord, with more activity than in recent quarters.

Current Plans

The following work is currently in progress:

  • Go SDK enhancements
  • Merge transaction execution components from Transact into the Sawtooth library
