In this recipe, we will guide you through the main steps of building a Sawtooth transaction family with a case study that implements a marketplace designed to keep track of the owner of a house. The sample application is developed with the Sawtooth Python SDK and uses the Sawtooth XO transaction family as a template. The full code is available with the source code files that come with this book.
