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.

transmutation of matter, in particular with attempts to convert base
metals into gold or find a universal elixir

17. 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.
