Talk to an ExpertQuorum is a blockchain protocol specially designed for use in a private blockchain network, where there is only a single member owning all the nodes or a consortium blockchain network where multiple members each own a portion of the network.
Quorum is designed to be highly scalable, with low transaction latencies and the ability to support a higher number of transactions per second than other blockchain protocols. This makes it well-suited for use in high-volume applications.
Quorum includes a number of security features that are designed to protect sensitive or proprietary data, like private transactions that allow network participants to transact without revealing the details of their transactions to the rest of the network.
Quorum is based on the Ethereum protocol and can support a wide range of decentralized applications and smart contracts. It is also highly modular and customizable so that it can be tailored to the needs of specific use cases.
There is no cost required to submit transactions to a Quorum network, unlike Ethereum, which requires the payment of high and unpredictable gas fees to submit transactions.

Talk to an ExpertUsing Kaleido’s enterprise blockchain platform for Corda business networks means that you can run CorDapps on a production environment with enhanced services and support levels, nodes of any size, advanced configuration tools, and full multi-region, cross-cloud, and hybrid options, with the following benefits:
All Corda environments on Kaleido are multi-region compatible by default. Depending on your plan tier you will be able to add multiple regions and clouds to any Corda environment. If you create an environment with a single initial deployment zone, you can add additional deployment zones at any time.
Corda users can rapidly deploy enterprise-grade and production-ready Corda networks on Kaleido. Clients can run CorDapps on cross-cloud and hybrid networks with a full stack of complementary tools and technologies. Kaleido’s Consortium-as-a-Service offering provides industry-first digital transformation capabilities to accelerate the business outcomes of decentralized consortium networks.
Key capabilities include smart contract management, a full stack of middleware technologies, a multi-party control plane, and shared DevOps. Clients have the option to leverage their own webserver, which enables them to run the custom business logic responsible for interacting with their cordapps in no time. This reduces the time in which clients can run their Corda projects in production on Kaleido, and represents a major benefit to existing Corda projects switching to Kaleido.
The Corda protocol is built on a strong identity model, where every node's identity must be proven to be have been properly onboarded by using an x.509 certificate with a validated trust chain. Signing identities only exist on the Corda nodes. Client applications in a Corda based solution are simply triggering the workflow that has already been registered on the target Corda node, and monitoring the progression of the flow. Essentially, Corda applications, or CorDapps for short, completely live on the Corda nodes.
Legacy inter-company systems have significant limitations in a digitally transforming world, and the urgency to modernize to more nimble and collaborative business processes is only increasing. Companies can use Corda on Kaleido to replace legacy processes with digital asset transfers, assure data privacy for partners in new resilient and transparent business networks, and leverage new incentive-based models to drive faster revenue recognition and lower costs. This market-level overhaul is best achieved through collaborative consortia, bolstered by enterprise blockchain technology, to bring transparency and trust to their interactions while maintaining privacy and security.

Hyperledger Fabric is a private blockchain that allows developers to create subnets, or channels, meaning that certain proprietary or personal information can remain confidential. This makes Fabric a protocol of choice for industries like financial services, insurance, and supply chain management.
Businesses reach production faster when they combine Avalanche Subnets with the full suite of web3 development tools offered on the Kaleido platform.
When you launch Polygon Supernets on Kaleido, you access the unique scaling solutions Polygon has to offer and an array of pluggable tools to mint tokens, create assets, and monitor activity—making it easier than ever to stand up ambitious web3 apps.
Quorum is a protocol of choice for industries like financial services, insurance, and supply chain management where enterprise-grade.
Corda, technically, is a blockchain. But it doesn't batch transactions like other technologies. Instead it recognizes transactions in real-time. Another interesting thing about Corda is that it uses three types of objects. State objects, contract objects, and flow objects. A software developer only needs to learn to build these three types of objects to start configuring a network. Corda’s load balancing is another differentiator, which you can learn more about here.
Corda is open source and free to download. Because it is a private, permissioned blockchain, there are no transaction fees on Corda. The technology was developed by R3—a technology provider focused on financial services.
R3 Corda’s peer-to-peer communication makes it one of the blockchain platforms of choice for highly regulated industries. Digital currencies, central banks, or any application used to keep information on the users or store the user consent might use Corda.
Both Corda and Hyperledger Fabric are open source. Hyperledger Fabric is most known for its modular architecture, which makes it valuable to a variety of industries. Corda is used in highly regulated industries and finds many of its use cases in financial services. Capital markets, applications with rules set by the GDPR, digital currencies—these applications use Corda. You can read more about how these blockchain technologies compare here.
