Frequently Asked Questions

What is a blockchain platform?

A blockchain platform provides the network, consensus mechanism and tools needed to run a distributed ledger and build applications or smart contracts on it.

What is the difference between public and enterprise blockchains?

Public networks such as Ethereum and Solana are open to anyone, while enterprise platforms such as Hyperledger Fabric, Corda and Kaleido restrict participants and focus on privacy, governance and integration with business systems.

Which blockchain platforms are best for enterprises?

Hyperledger Fabric, Hyperledger Besu, Corda, Kaleido and Oracle Blockchain Platform are widely used for permissioned enterprise networks, and Besu can also run on public Ethereum.

What happened to Microsoft Azure Blockchain?

Microsoft retired its Azure Blockchain services, so they are no longer listed. Consensys Quorum and managed services such as Kaleido and Amazon Managed Blockchain remain options.
