What is a Blockchain?
![Page 3: Towards a Post-Modern Hash Chain Future](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022032620/55cd4337bb61eb40628b479e/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
A Blockchain = A Network of Blockchain Clients

Blockchains (Both Public and Permissioned)
Characteristics● History Rules – Let's agree on what the worldstate of data is and was.● Signature Authority Rules – Let's agree on our ability to write to the data set.● Network Rules – Let's agree how to talk to each other.
Benefits● Incredible Verifibility● Systemic Resiliency
Challenges● Privacy● Slow

Public Blockchains
Characteristics● Economic Solution for Consensus● Fully Immutable History
Benefits● Censorship Resistence● Data Permanence
Challenges● Expensive● Can It Do What A Developer Needs It To Do?

Public Blockchains
Public blockchains come in two flavo(u)rs:
Transaction-optimized● Give developers: verifiable title transfer
● Examples: BTC, SkuChain, most of the “coins”
Logic-optimized● Give developers: verifiable process+title transfer
● Examples: ETH

Permissioned Blockchains
Characteristics● Semi-Immutable History● Capabilities Based Permissioning
Benefits● Fully Verifiable Business Processes ● Stakeholder Coordination History
Challenges● Slower than existing data solutions● Do not purport to change existing political power dynamics

Permissioned Blockchains
Permissioned blockchains come in two flavo(u)rs:
Transaction-optimized● Give developers: verifiable title transfer
● Examples: MultiChain
Logic-optimized● Give developers: verifiable logic+title transfer
● Examples: Tendermint

Same DNA, Different Environment

Private & Confidential
Blockchains give us verifiable DATA
Smart Contracts give us verifiable LOGIC

Smart Contracts
Characteristics● Scripts Saved in a Blockchain● Almost every Blockchain is capable
● Capabilities vary
Benefits● Verifiable, Distributed Process Assurance● Multi-Stakeholder By Design
Challenges● Reactive● “Reach” limited to the blockchain they live on
