Duncan Johnston-Watt discusses Blockchain Technology Partners' (BTP) open source blockchain platform called Sextant. Sextant allows for one-click deployment of Hyperledger Sawtooth networks on Kubernetes and provides an integrated development lifecycle and support model. BTP aims to simplify enterprise adoption of blockchain through Sextant and accelerate innovation by providing foundational open source tools that businesses can build applications on, rather than focusing on infrastructure development themselves. BTP will distribute Sextant through cloud marketplaces and provide professional services and managed blockchain solutions to help customers leverage Sextant and co-create blockchain-based solutions.

Co-creation is a thing!
October 2018 @blockchaintp 17
Co-creation is a management initiative, or form of
economic strategy, that brings different parties
together (for instance, a company and a group of
customers), in order to jointly produce a mutually
valued outcome.

Anatomy of a hyperledger applicationEric Cattoir

This document provides an overview of the anatomy of a Hyperledger application. It describes the key components including the Hyperledger architecture, application components, smart contracts, permissioned ledger access, and how applications interact with the blockchain network. The Hyperledger architecture supports various participants like developers, users, and network operators. Applications use smart contracts to interact with the ledger, while smart contracts encapsulate business logic and transactions. Permissioned access controls who can access the ledger through the use of certificates. The document also provides examples of how applications, smart contracts, and external systems integrate with the permissioned ledger.
