Permissioned vs Private Blockchain

Permissioned refers to blockchain networks or systems where access, participation, and specific actions require explicit authorization from a controlling authority. Participants must be granted permission before they can join, validate transactions, or access network data.

A private blockchain is a restricted, permissioned distributed ledger controlled by a specific organization or consortium where participation requires authorization. Unlike public blockchains, access to view and validate transactions is limited to approved participants only.
