Permissioned vs Permissionless - Reading Assignment

What benefits do blockchain provide in business-to-business collaborations?
– Allows the ability to transfer data, assets, or value between businesses without relying on a 3rd party.
– All members of the network have access to the same info via ledger, making it easy to verify and authenticate past transactions.
– Allows for increased trust between parties with instant access to relevant authentic info.
– Transparency.

What property of a blockchain does the name “Permissionless” refer to?
– Public.
– Anyone can create a personal address and start interacting on the network.
– Anyone can participate in the network by setting up a node, validator, or miner.
– Anyone can develop and add smart contracts on the network.
– Decentralized.
– Has a digital asset such as a coin or token.
– Some aspects of anonymity.
– Aspects of Transparency such as the ability to see all transactions processed.

What are 3 examples of permissionless blockchains?
Ethereum, Avalanche, Algorand

Who are allowed to join a permissioned blockchain network?
– Permissioned blockchains are closed ecosystems. You have to be invited or belong to an organization or business who implemented their own private blockchain.
– It’s possible in the future, countries, states, or cities could use permissioned blockchains which are private to their region.
– Only approved people or computer entities would have access.

Why do you think permissioned blockchain networks are preferred by many companies?
– It gives companies similar control to current network infrastructure.
– Companies have more control for user access, device access, functionality, validating, transactions, executions, or reading of data.
– Allows companies to create level tiers.
– Greater control if they want transparency or anonymity as these aren’t necessarily required.
– Governance is decided by members of the company and isn’t necessary. The company can make decisions when they want.
– Private blockchains are usually more centralized.

  1. Blockchain is one type of ‘Distributed Ledger Technology’ which allows for business collaborations/exchange of value to be conducted without centralized intermediaries - ‘Blockchain Technology’ replaces intermediaries as ‘trust’-layer and can therefore establish more operational efficiency. Additionally, Blockchain Technology might prevent the centralization of power over user-generated data due to it’s decentralized nature and provides more transparency within business operations. Moreover, censorship-resistance is a crucial property of blockchain technology - data, which is stored transparently can not be changed without consensus.

  2. Permissionless Blockchains are open and public networks without centralized authorities. Everybody can enter and exit the network at any time. Permissionless Blockchains promote equality, which means that every network node can independently decide on it’s role within the network - a light node can become a full node and can take part in the verification process of transactions. Every node has the right, to verify and validate transactions. There is full transparency, as every single transaction can be viewed on the ledger.

  3. Ethereum, Fantom & Algorand.

  4. This is defined by the system administrator of the permissioned blockchain network.

  5. Permissioned Blockchain Systems allow companies to make use of the core-benefits of blockchain solutions for their specific business purposes without loosing control over the network. Business might be interested in disintermediating business operations, strengthening immutability, establishing more transparency through blockchain technology, while controlling who is allowed to join the blockchain network & create new blocks. More permissioned systems might be more appealing as they provide more privacy related to business secrets. Permissioned Blockchains are not based on probabilistic consensus algorithms, but deploy consensus mechanisms which are focused on instant finality, which improves the scalability of these systems.

  1. Meaning that it is fully decentralized (public instead of private which a permissioned Blockchain would be)

  • Bitcoin
  • Ethereum
  • Avalance
  1. It’s normally used by organizations so only people within them are allowed to use permissioned Blockchains.

  2. Because they don’t have to keep everything open and visible to all, as a company you still have competition that you don’t want to know how your business is holding up.

  1. blockchain technology allows the transfer of data/assets/value between two parties, while eliminating the need to rely on a third party to facilitate the said transfer. It allow for increased trust between parties, and instant access to relevant, authentic information

  2. In a public blockchain, anyone is free to join and participate in the core activities of the blockchain network

  3. Qorum, Corda, Ethereum

  4. Participants can join a private blockchain network only through an invitation where their identity or other required information is authentic and verified. The validation is done by the network operator(s) or by a clearly defined set protocol implemented by the network through smart contracts or other automated approval methods.

  5. Only those with permission can run a full node, make transactions, or validate/authenticate the blockchain changes. By reducing the focus on protecting user identities and promoting transparency, private blockchains prioritize efficiency and immutability—the state of not being able to be changed. These are important features in supply, logistics, finances, accounting…

    “In business-to-business scenarios, blockchain networks allow for increased trust between parties, and instant access to relevant, authentic information”

  2. What property of a blockchain does the name “Permissionless” refer to?
    Such blockchains do these things without requiring permission from a central authority-. “They allow every user to create a personal address and begin interacting with the network, by submitting transactions, and hence adding entries to the ledger. Additionally, all parties have the choice of running a node on the system, or employing the mining protocols to help verify transactions.”

  3. What are 3 examples of permissionless blockchains?
    BTC, ETH, Bitcoin Gold

  4. Who are allowed to join a permissioned blockchain network?
    “only approved people or computer entities have the possibility of running nodes on the network, validating transaction blocks, issuing transactions, executing smart contracts, or reading the transaction history.”

  5. Why do you think permissioned blockchain networks are preferred by many companies?
    Because they are private organizations, not public. They privately own and control their organizations, and they want to extend such private ownership and control to their databases, including blockchain databases. Also they may want more secrecy and privacy, which a closed, permission-based blockchain can provide.

  2. “Permissioned” blockchain network is closed blockchain network not publicly accessible that can be accessed by user nodes internally with appropriate permission only. Users must authenticate themselves using certificates or other digital methods to access control layer. Good example use-case of permissioned blockchain network is XRP, popular permissioned blockchains Quorum, R3Corda, Hyperledger Fabric.

  3. Permissioned blockchain networks are preferred by many companies because of the high level of privacy and security for sensitive data they provide.

An incentive program is not required to approve transactions. The block chain can be tailored to a companies specific needs and is therefore more efficient and streamlined.” from JDC

1-In business-to-business scenarios, blockchain networks allow for increased trust between parties, and instant access to relevant, authentic information. This is so thanks to the fact that blockchains provide a historical record of all transactions, alongside the means to record these entries.

2- Public blockchain where every user can initiate a transaction and see the transaction history.

• Driven by network consensus

• No permission

3- Bitcoin, Eitherum, EOS

4- only approved people or computer entities have the possibility of running nodes on the network, validating transaction blocks, issuing transactions, executing smart contracts, or reading the transaction history.

5- better scalability, easier to maintain, change and update. Security is provided by selecting participants rather than employing consensus algorithms that can require resources to operate.
