The Corda Platform
Meet Corda The open Blockchain platform for digital cash, assets and trade. Designed for business, built for privacy p13.
Corda, Blockchain Characteristics Corda Retains all the key characteristics of a Blockchain system Smart Contracts Immutability Records are stored in a Business Logic is encapsulated cryptographic manner and executes in a deterministic, that assures lineage and tamper evident manner. tamper evidence. Consistent Shared Facts on Ledger Consensus over uniqueness Shared facts are agreed Records of shared facts upon by a variety of including financial consensus mechanisms. agreements are consistent across entities.
Point-to-Point, Privacy Corda is a point-to-point system - a fundamental architectural difference to other systems. Only Corda enables Ledger Smart transaction privacy with Smart Ledger contract contract transactions only shared with parties of the transaction.
Consensus as a service Corda separates the trust mechanism from the node allowing a pluggable consensus service which we call a notary. Consensus Service (Notary) Consensus algorithms can be chosen at the transaction level, not the Blockchain level.
Private Business Networks Only Corda can enable a global network of interoperable nodes while still supporting private business networks. One node can participate in many networks. The networks can set policies and enforce membership creating Business Networks permissioned networks inside an interoperable network.
