     1  Ordering Service
     2  ================
     3  
     4  [WIP] ...coming soon
     5  
     6  This topic will outline the role and functionalities of the ordering
     7  service, and explain its place in the broader network and in the lifecycle of a transaction.
     8  The v1 architecture has been designed such that the ordering service is the centralized point
     9  of trust in a decentralized network, but also such that the specific implementation of "ordering"
    10  (solo, kafka, BFT) becomes a pluggable component.
    11  
    12  Refer to the design document on a `Kafka-based Ordering
    13  Service <https://docs.google.com/document/d/1vNMaM7XhOlu9tB_10dKnlrhy5d7b1u8lSY8a-kVjCO4/edit>`__
