Interest in blockchain platforms is rising due to their potential to enhance supply chain efficiency, traceability, trade simplicity, and financial transactions. Modern platforms have evolved to mitigate early cryptocurrency issues, such as high energy consumption and slow speeds, allowing enterprises to adopt them for multiparty cooperation and data sharing, according to Suseel Menon from Everest Group. Applications in areas like supply chain tracking, trade finance, and identity management are moving beyond pilot phases, with interest also growing in decentralized finance (DeFi), which challenges traditional financial and supply chain systems. The article also highlights eight notable blockchain platforms: 1. **Ethereum**: Established in 2013, it supports decentralized applications (dApps) and smart contracts. Transitioning to a proof of stake (PoS) mechanism in 2022 drastically reduced its energy consumption. 2. **IBM Blockchain**: This private decentralized platform integrates well with enterprise technologies, with successful applications in food safety and supply chain management. 3. **Hyperledger Fabric**: Designed for enterprise environments, it enhances security and speed through modular architecture and supports private data sharing.
4. **R3 Corda**: While debated as a true blockchain, it allows real-time transaction processing, making it favorable for financial services and insurance. 5. **Tezos**: Known for its dynamic upgradability and efficient PoS consensus, it supports smart contracts and has adaptive features for enterprise use. 6. **EOSIO**: Launched in 2018, it's optimized for dApps and smart contracts, featuring fast transactions and advanced governance capabilities. 7. **Stellar**: Aimed at DeFi applications, it streamlines cross-border transactions and financial services through its Stellar Consensus Protocol. 8. **Consensys Quorum**: A JPMorganChase developed variant of Ethereum, optimized for institutional transactions and regulatory compliance, now offered as an open-source service. These platforms are shaping the future of blockchain in business, providing tailored solutions for various enterprise needs.
