Consortium

• A consortium is a network in which the members that can participate to the consensus mechanism are pre-selected. This type of blockchain is generally regarded as partially decentralized to the extent that the identity of the miners is known and that it is possible to make public or not the transactions added to the blockchain.
• This type of blockchain is implemented in the same manner as private blockchains that we describe below but the difference is that the consensus process is not concentrated into the hands of a single entity.
