Enterprise Ledger

Definition ∞ An enterprise ledger is a distributed ledger technology specifically designed for use by businesses and organizations, rather than public, permissionless networks. These ledgers often feature controlled access, enhanced privacy settings, and higher transaction throughput to meet corporate demands. They facilitate secure and verifiable record-keeping among a consortium of participants. Enterprise ledgers aim to streamline business processes and improve data integrity.
Context ∞ The adoption of enterprise ledgers is a growing area of interest for large corporations seeking to leverage blockchain benefits without the full transparency of public chains. Discussions often center on interoperability with existing systems and regulatory compliance for specific industries. News reports frequently detail pilot programs or successful implementations of these private distributed ledgers within various business sectors.
