	○ 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?
	○ Bitcoin, Ethereum, Litecoin and Akash Network are all examples of permissionless blockchains. 
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?
	○ Varying decentralization - members of the blockchain network are free to negotiate and come to a decision concerning the level of decentralization that the network will have
	○ Transparency & Anonymity - private blockchains are not required to be transparent, but they can choose to do so freely, depending on the inner organization of the businesses. 
	○ Governance - governance is decided by members of the business network

  1. Blockchain technology is beneficial for B2B collaboration as it provides increased trust and security between parties and allows access to authentic information. It also completely eliminates the need of a third party to verify the truthfulness of things as everything is transparent.
  2. a) Completely decentralized - no central authority that can control the network.
    b) Digital assets - most permissionless networks have an user-incentivising token which appreciates or depreciates in value according to the network’s success.
    c) Anonymity - many permissionless networks don’t require verifying one’s identity. People can just create an address and start interacting with the blockchain without having to complete KYC.
    d) Transparency - permissionless networks are completely open source and every participant can verify the authenticity of transactions, code, blocks and so on.
  3. Bitcoin, Ethereum, Polkadot
  4. Only approved people or computer entities.
  5. Because they require permission, granting the running company more control over data, meaning who can view what. They can also chose what to make public to the users and what to keep private for only authorized people to view (Privacy). They are also easier to maintain.

  1. Secure transfer of data, assets or value between two parties, increased trust between parties and instant access to relevant and authentic information.

  2. The ability for anyone to run their own node on the system, or employing the mining protocols to help verify transactions without anybody’s permission.
    This property exists in ‘fully’ decentralized (public) networks but not in private ones.

  3. Bitcoin, Cardano & Dogecoin.

  4. Only approved people or computer entities by specific members of consortiums or companies are allowed to run nodes on the network, validating transaction blocks, issuing transactions, executing smart contracts, or reading the transactions history on the network.

  5. As they want control to govern over the data and assets in the network and protect them from the exposure to the general public, and because they are cheaper to use, easier to scale and maintain, and faster to transact in than permissionless blockchain networks are.
