What is a Private Blockchain?

A private blockchain is a permissioned blockchain network where access and participation are restricted to a specific group of authorized entities or participants. Unlike public blockchains, which are open to anyone, private blockchains are controlled by a centralized authority or consortium of organizations. Private blockchains are often used in enterprise settings where privacy, control, and scalability are prioritized over decentralization and censorship resistance.
