A permissioned system restricts access to a blockchain network to only those participants who have been granted permission. This approach is common in enterprise settings where security, compliance, and privacy are critical.
Permissioned blockchains allow organizations to control who can participate in the network, ensuring that data is shared only with trusted entities.
While they offer increased security and performance, permissioned systems sacrifice some aspects of decentralization and openness.
