2Types of Blockchain

There are many different types of distributed ledger technologies (DLTs) and many of these are classed as Blockchain networks. We will concentrate on the Blockchain networks and discuss the differences between the main three categories:

  • Public
  • Permissioned
  • Hybrid.

The different types of Blockchain networks have different roles and will achieve different tasks. I believe that we need to work in a hybrid world where the Blockchain networks are interoperable and work together. Over the next few years, we will see many more Blockchain networks and DLTs – all of these need to work together as the unique characteristics of each network, complementing each other and enabling a significant ecosystem of many different solutions.

I have asked Chris Wing to talk about the different types and here is his excellent section on the different types of Blockchain networks.
