#Sawtooth Lake Bond Implementation

This extension contains an implementation of a transaction family which enables a proof-of-concept bond trading platform, built on the Sawtooth Lake distributed ledger. It also contains a command line interface and browser based interface for interacting with the bond market. Real-world bond trading, clearing, and settlement is significantly complex, so we have attempted to select a core set of functionality that demonstrates how these platforms might be built on blockchain technology. Further investment would be required to move these concepts into production.

Detailed instructions for running Sawtooth Lake validators can be found at http://intelledger.github.io/. To add the bond trading transaction family to your validator, modify its txnvalidator.js config file so that the Transaction Families section looks like this:

  "TransactionFamilies" : [
      "ledger.transaction.integer_key",
      "sawtooth_bond"
  ],

Further documentation on how to run individual parts of this extension (like the browser UI), can be found in the Readmes in their individual directories.
