- benefits b2b blockchain collaborations:
- increased trust between parties
- quick and reliable information
- no need for middlemen
- permissionless blockchains have the following characteristics:
-
anyone can take part on it without asking for access, anyone can see all the history of transactions, do transactions etc… (they are “public”)
-
they are decentralized: there is no owner of the data, no central administration
-
anonymity: personal information not required. However we can’t see it as full anonymity
-
some form of consensus (proof of work, proof of stake are the two most used) is used to add transactions to the blockchain.
-
bitcoin, ethereum, litecoin
-
those who are foreseen by the blockchain owner/s.
-
reasons for permissioned blockchains:
- scalability (no need for high decentralization)
- participants are chosen by owners
- secure registration and storing of transactions
