Short Report (150-200 words)
The three selected blockchain platforms Ethereum, Hyperledger Fabric, and Quorum serve different
purposes based on their technical architecture.
Ethereum, being a public blockchain, is decentralized and permissionless, making it suitable for applications
like DeFi and NFTs. Its PoS mechanism and support for Turing-complete smart contracts (in Solidity) allow
for complex logic execution. However, it has relatively low throughput (~1530 TPS).
Hyperledger Fabric is a private, permissioned blockchain with pluggable consensus, offering high throughput
(~1,000+ TPS). It supports chaincode in multiple languages and enables private channels, ideal for
confidential business operations such as supply chain networks.
Quorum, a consortium blockchain, merges Ethereums smart contract capabilities with enhanced privacy and
speed (~1,500 TPS). Built for enterprise financial applications, it supports private transactions.
Platform Choices:
- Decentralized App: Ethereum
- Supply Chain Network: Hyperledger Fabric
- Inter-Bank Financial App: Quorum
