Consortium Networks

Definition

Consortium networks are permissioned blockchain systems managed by a select group of organizations rather than a single entity or the public. Participants in these networks typically share common business interests and collectively govern the network’s protocols, access, and transaction validation. This structure offers a balance between the transparency and immutability of blockchain technology and the need for controlled access and enhanced performance often required in enterprise settings. They facilitate secure and efficient data exchange among known, trusted parties.
