Businesses will have different needs. They will have to handle high volumes of critical data and will have to maintain regulatory and safety standards in their particular industries. Accountability, certainty, and scalability are very important for the performance of a business.

Ethereum was officially launched in 2015 as an extensible version of the payment system of Bitcoin, which used blockchain technology for operations. The most important benefit of a blockchain is that users can establish immutable and trusted transaction records, avoiding intermediaries. Programmability is the Ethereum blockchain’s power. As agreements are installed in the code, transactions will be executed automatically. Here are the benefits Ethereum offers to businesses.

•  Data coordination

The decentralized architecture of Ethereum arranges information well. Thus, the participants in the network do not have to depend on the central power to execute transactions and manage the whole system.

• Quick deployment

The Hyperledger Besu is a compact SaaS platform that businesses can use to easily manage and deploy private blockchain networks. Thus, there is no need to code any blockchain implementations just from a scratch.

• Permissioned networks

The open-source protocol layer ConsenSys Quorum helps businesses to create private and public blockchain networks to ensure that your business solution fits all the security and regulatory requirements.

• Private transactions

Businesses can create private consortia using private transaction layers to get more privacy. The private information on the Ethereum blockchain will not be broadcasted to other participants in the network.

• Network size

An Ethereum network can work alongside millions of users and hundreds of nodes. This is very important for businesses that may grow out of the limited nodes in the network. If the nodes are fewer, businesses will not have any reference cases for a viable and vast network.

• Performance and scalability

Ethereum’s consortium networks have the power to beat the public mainnet and can easily grow to more than hundreds of transactions per second according to the network configuration. Ethereum has many options to grow itself in the future.

• Incentive layer

The crypto-economic layers of Ethereum allow businesses to create mechanisms that catch heinous activities and reward positive activities like availability and verifications.

• Finality

The consensus algorithm of a blockchain ensures that the transaction records will be canonical and tamper-proof. There are customizable consensus mechanisms in Ethereum to cater to different business networks.

• Tokenization

Ethereum allows businesses to tokenize their assets which are registered in the form of a digital format. Businesses can divide the earlier monolithic assets, expand their product line, and find new models of incentives with the help of tokenization.

• Standards

Ethereum is known to be a synonym of standard. The Ethereum ecosystem remains non-fractionalized with its protocols related to their human-readable names or ENS, token design or ERC20, decentralized storage, and decentralized messaging.

Final Thoughts

A year back, it was very hard to establish a permissioned blockchain network as it was expensive and time-consuming. However, Ethereum has made it simple for business networks to create and operate their private blockchain networks.
