Hyperledger Burrow is a permissioned Ethereum smart-contract blockchain node. It executes Ethereum EVM and WASM smart contract code (usually written in Solidity) on a permissioned virtual machine. Burrow provides transaction finality and high transaction throughput on a proof-of-stake Tendermint consensus engine. Burrow is a fully-fledged blockchain node and smart contract execution engine -- a distributed database that executes code. Burrow runs Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM) and Web Assembly (WASM) smart contracts. Burrow networks are synchronized using the Tendermint consensus algorithm. A node can detect if its state is corrupted or if a validator is dishonestly executing the protocol. Run a private or public permissioned network. Stakeholders may vote for autonomous smart contract upgrades. Application state is organised in an event stream and can drive external systems.
