Decentralization Model

- Simplified email-based member on-boarding with configurable permissions.
- Operate as a centralized consortium with a single organization owning and operating network resources, or as decentralized with shared ownership across multiple entities.
- Organizations with different tiered subscriptions can coexist in the same consortium.
- Member services are protected with basic authentication credentials and controlled unilaterally by an owning member. These include REST Gateway resources, HD wallets, IPFS nodes and more.
- A consortium can host multiple blockchain networks (i.e. environments) with firewall isolation and environment-specific resources. No cross chatter or data leakage.
- Private transaction support via Quorum and Hyperledger Besu clients with private state information residing in a separate Patricia state trie. Non-privy participants will be unable to decrypt transaction payload for execution.
- Support for app to app messaging with asymmetrically encrypted payloads sent through Kaleido backbone; outbound messages are encrypted with counterpart's digital certificate
- Nodes, services and security credentials confined solely to their environment.
- Optional node and service integrations available with native cloud services such as Key Management Stores and Backup utilities.
- Organizational identities backed by digital certificates woven into chain layer with Registry Service.
- Block explorer supports granular inspection of transactions, blocks and smart contracts, with source code verification supported.
