## What it is
Hyperledger Sawtooth is an enterprise distributed ledger (blockchain) platform for building, deploying, and running ledgers, originally written in Python. This core repository has been archived by Hyperledger and is now maintained by the Splinter community.

## Use cases
- build a permissioned enterprise blockchain network
- run a distributed ledger with pluggable consensus
- develop custom smart contract transaction processors
- deploy a private blockchain for supply chain tracking
- simulate and test blockchain transactions locally
- integrate blockchain transactions via a REST API

## When to choose
- you need a modular, permissioned enterprise blockchain with pluggable consensus
- you want to write transaction processors in Python or other languages
- you are following the Splinter community's continued fork of Sawtooth

## When to avoid
- you need an actively maintained project - this repository is archived and no longer active in Hyperledger
- you want a public, permissionless blockchain platform
- you need broad ecosystem support or recent community contributions

## Facets
- artifact type: framework
- maturity: abandoned
- function: blockchain, cryptography, api-framework, cli
- domain: blockchain, microservices, developer-tools
- platform: python, cross-platform
