  1. What benefits do blockchains provide in business-to-business collaborations?

A blockchain can generate a more transparent business environment and, depending on the design of the blockchain (e.g. control, governance), can create a high level of trust between business partners. Business partners can use data that is stored on the blockchain and proven to be authentic to quickly verify information that is relevant to the business, which creates a trustless environment, increases efficiency and reduces opaqueness. Therefore, a blockchain environment can increase transparency of business processes, reduce the number of intermediaries, reduce the cost of asymmetric information, thereby benefitting the involved business partners on several dimensions (monetary and non-monetary).

  1. What property of a blockchain does the name “Permissionless” refer to?

In this context, permissionless refers to the fact that anyone can join the blockchain (become a member of the network, i.e. a user, full node, or a miner) and any network member has the permission to read (access and view all records stored on the blockchain) and create data entries (e.g. create a transaction).

  1. What are 3 examples of permissionless blockchains?

Bitcoin, Ethereum, Dogecoin

  1. Who are allowed to join a permissioned blockchain network?

In a permissioned blockchain, there is either a single authority or a small group of selected members that can grant other computers/machines/people access to the blockchain network.

  1. Why do you think permissioned blockchain networks are preferred by many companies?

Private companies want to exploit the benefits of blockchain technology (e.g. data immutability, removing trust, etc.) while still maintaining control about key characteristics about the network (governance). A company may want to use a blockchain to make the business process with selected business partners more transparent, but is does not want the data to be accessible to anyone outside the network.

  1. Blockchain networks offer for enhanced confidence between parties and rapid access to important, accurate information in business-to-business circumstances. This is due to the fact that blockchains provide a historical record of all transactions as well as the ability to record them.

  2. There is no central authority governing the ‘permissionless’ blockchain, meaning that they are decentralised (run by nodes). In addition to this, such blockchains are fully transparent, which means that all transactions can be found on a public database.

  3. Bitcoin, Elrond, Ethereum

  4. Furthermore, only approved persons or computer entities have the ability to manage network nodes, validate transaction blocks, issue transactions, execute smart contracts, or view transaction history.

  5. The protocols on private blockchains are not as strict as that of public blockchains, since they are not opened to the outside users. In addition to this, private blockchains allow a single controlling entity or a group of entities to make decisions about how the network is built, its protocols, and what users can do.

  1. The benefits blockchain provides in business-to-business collaborations is that blockchain networks allow for increased trust between parties, along with instant access to relevant, authentic information. The fact that blockchains provide an historical record of all transactions, alongside the means to record these entries, also means that in the future the way B2B/user transactions and processes are carried out, will be revolutionised. This is especially so with the introduction of other technologies such as automation, artificial intelligence, Internet of Things, machine learning, etc.
  2. "Permissionless” (or Public) blockchain networks allow any user to create a personal address to begin interacting with the network, by submitting transactions, and hence adding entries to the ledger without permission from anybody. In addition, any user has the choice of running a node on the system, or employing the mining protocols to help verify transactions.
  3. Permisionless blockchains power most of the cryptocurrency market’s digital currencies; Bitcoin, Ethereum and Litecoin are 3 examples of these.
  4. “Permissioned” (or private) blockchain networks are run by specific members of consortiums or companies, and members need to opt-in to be allowed to join such a blockchain. Additionally, 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. In my opinion permissioned blockchain networks are preferred by many companies due to a number of reasons: they can be fully centralised or partially decentralised, given the fact that businesses manage customer’s information so control is necessary; they are not required to be transparent, but can choose to do so freely if they wish, depending on the inner organization of the businesses; and their governance is decided by members of the business as there are numerous dynamics which can determine how decisions are made on a central level, so there is no need for consensus-based mechanisms as in permissionless blockchains.
