Consortium blockchain

The consortium blockchain is a hybrid blockchain that is semi-decentralized. It combines the best features of both permissionless and permissioned blockchains. Instead of assigning most tasks to a single organization, a consortium blockchain assigns the same tasks to nodes maintained by multiple organizations. Instead of having a single validator node, there can be multiple nodes. Although a consortium blockchain is permissioned, it's more decentralized than a private blockchain.
