    Private blockchain development entails building restricted, permissioned networks in which only authorized users may join. Unlike public blockchains, which are open and decentralized, private blockchains are controlled by a single company or set of businesses. This makes them speedier, more scalable, and more suited to corporate applications like supply chain management, finance, healthcare, and identity verification.

    Key difference:

    • Private Blockchains - Controlled access, more privacy, and faster transactions, specifically intended for corporate operations.
    • Public Blockchains - Open to anyone, decentralized governance, completely transparent, suitable for cryptocurrency and community-driven projects.

    In short, private blockchains prioritize efficiency, security, and company control above complete decentralization.
