Enterprise blockchain is the application of blockchain technology in corporate environments to improve security, transparency, and efficiency in the management of data and transactions. Unlike public blockchains, designed for open use cases such as cryptocurrencies, enterprise blockchain is deployed on private or hybrid networks controlled by individual companies or consortia of organizations.
It enables transactions to be recorded and information to be shared among multiple parties in an immutable, traceable, and verifiable way. This helps reduce fraud, automate processes through smart contracts, and simplify trust between organizations collaborating within the same network. It also increases efficiency by removing intermediaries and shortening processing times for critical operations.
Enterprise blockchain is used in areas such as supply chain traceability (industry, logistics, and food), data certification in healthcare, secure financial information exchange, and digital identity management. It is also applied in sustainability initiatives to ensure the ethical sourcing of raw materials and compliance with environmental standards.
