A consortium blockchain is a type of private blockchain that is controlled by a group of organizations rather than a single entity. This shared governance model allows for collaborative decision-making and improved security among the participants.
Consortium blockchains are often used in industries such as banking, supply chain management, and healthcare, where multiple organizations need to work together.
They offer a balanced approach, combining the benefits of decentralization with the control required for enterprise applications.
