Similarities of public and private blockchain

• Both blockchains are decentralized on peer-to-peer networks, and participant maintains a replica of digitally signed transactions.
• Both maintain the replicas through a protocol referred to as consensus.
• Both provide certain guarantees digitally signed transactions, even when some participants are faulty or malicious.

Public Blockchains

• Public blockchains are easy to access for anyone like Bitcoin and Ethereum
• In Public blockchains no one controls the information which is on the blockchain or the laws of the blockchain
• Custom software development company in India use solidity contract writing language to

  develop custom blockchain app

  that can use public blockchain for transaction based on ethereum.
• No one can the change the protocols of the public blockchain and the information contained on the blockchain according to the users.
• So users of a public blockchain can put their complete trust in a third party apps in order to use the blockchain

Private Blockchains

• The private blockchains are blockchains which are operated by an organization for their internal purpose
• Private blockhain Network puts restriction to the entry of participant and allows only the kind of participant that is required in the network.
• User needs the permission to use the private blockchains or requires an invitation and must be validated by owner or starter of private blockchains
• The transactions in private blockchain is faster and easy when compared to the public blockchain like Bitcoin blockchain.
• Private blockchain network increase privacy but it is less secured as compared to public blockchain.
