Permissioned vs Permissionless - Reading Assignment

  1. It provides a trust layer. 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. 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.
  2. Anyone can get involved in the network. It is decentralized meaning that no central authority has the ability to edit the ledger, shut down the network or change its protocol. Also there is a financial system available on the network. It is also transparent and in many ways anonymous.
  3. Bitcoin, Ethereum and EOS.
  4. Only approved people or computer entities have the ability to join the network.
  5. Because they allow for centralized control over company secrets. They also allow for control over the level of transparency, anonymously and governance.

  1. Blockchains provide the following benefits for B2B:
  • eliminate the necessity for a third party intermediary (e.g. for authorization, verification, audit etc.) which saves resources and I would say changes the mindset - that an organization can cooperate with another entity in a trustless and transparent way.
  • data that is not tampered with (it is a benefit to everyone, not just B2B, contributes to fairness and objectivity)
  • data transparency - data is available and visible to everyone all the time, there do not have to be worries about hidden or not fully disclosed data, or paralell accounting ledgers.
  1. Permissionless means an blockchain that is open to any participant and the participant does not have to fulfill some specific requirements or qualifications to interact (build a blocks, obtain data etc.)

  2. Permissionless blockchains - Cardano, Synthetix, Polkadot

  3. Users who are authorized and accepted by the governing body of a permissioned blockchain are allowed to join a permissioned netwok.

  4. I think it is a very deeply embedded way of operating with control and an approach that the absolute majority of companies are used to operate with - they need to control and know who interacts with them and who makes or affects the decisions and manages the data. It is an understandable desire and justification for a company that does not aim to offer its services or interact with the whole world but with certain individuals / entities that fulfill certain requirements or have specific characteristics. It is easier to control and overview such a network.

  5. Permissioned blockchain networks are preferred by companies because they allow keep part of data secret and secured (for ex. business fragile data or patents). They may be tailor made for specific needs of a company.

1.greater data security and transparency. blockchains are hard to temper with and in case of public chains one can rely on the algorithm for validation unless a 51% attack occurs (and one would know of that.)
2. No permission required to join the network as either a minor or major node. Access to the chain and to its possible interactions are open to anyone.
3. BTC, ETH, DOGE, EOS, ATOM, etc.

  1. In business-to-business collaborations, blockchain provides the following benefits: 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 entities. Ultimately, in the future, it is believed that blockchain technology will revolutionise the way B2B/user transactions and processes and carried out, especially following the introduction of other technologies such as automation, artificial intelligence, Internet of Things and machine learning.

  2. The name “Permissionless” refers to the property of a blockchain whereby anyone is allowed to get involved on the network without needing permission from anybody. For example, in the case of Bitcoin, anyone is free to download the bitcoin blockchain and begin mining operations, in exchange for mining fees and block rewards. Moreover, as Ethereum employs a permissionless blockchain, anyone can develop and add smart contracts onto the network, with no limitation imposed by the developers.

  3. Bitcoin, Ethereum and Cardano are examples of permissionless blockchains.

  4. Only approved people or computer entities are allowed to join a permissioned blockchain network. In other words, permissioned blockchains act as closed ecosystems, where users are not freely able to join the network, see the recorded history, or issue transactions of their own. Ultimately, private blockchains are run by specific members of consortiums or companies, and members need to opt-in for the creation of such a network.

  5. Permissioned blockchain networks are preferred by many companies for three main reasons. Firstly, members of a private blockchain network are free to negotiate and come to a decision concerning the level of decentralization that the network will have. Secondly, private blockchains are not required to be transparent, but they can choose to do so freely, depending on the inner organisation of the businesses. Thirdly, for permission blockchains, governance is decided by members of the business network. In short, private blockchains are better for internal business operations because they have very different dynamics which allow the central governing entity or consortium of entities to decide on all problems pertaining to how the network is created, its protocols and what users can do.

Q1, Increased trust, instant access to data, verified data.
Q2, Decentralisation.
Q3, BTC, ETH, EOS.
Q4, In general, companies and members of consortiums but also approved people and computer entities.
Q5, They allow control of access to data and governance is decided by members of the network for their own best interests. Problem solving is simplified due to less participants with authority to be part of the process.
