Definition ∞ A consortia model represents a collaborative arrangement where multiple organizations pool resources to achieve a shared objective. In the context of blockchain and digital assets, this model typically involves a group of enterprises jointly developing and operating a permissioned blockchain network. Participants collectively govern the network, define its rules, and share the costs and benefits of its infrastructure. This structure aims to balance decentralization with the need for controlled access and verifiable transactions among known entities.
Context ∞ The consortia model is a prominent approach for enterprise blockchain adoption, particularly in supply chain management, interbank settlements, and cross-border payments. Key discussions revolve around governance structures, intellectual property sharing, and achieving interoperability between different consortia networks. Future trends indicate a move towards more open and interconnected consortia, potentially bridging with public blockchain ecosystems.
