The intent of this page is to collect information about dlt Consortium consortium activities within Trade Finance market.
So what's the landscape?
We are going to start from a vary basic differentiation.
Business-led and government mandated consortium: In this model, collaborating companies or regulated entities seek to solve a common business problem or facilitate improved processes among themselves. These groups can be organized by vertical or horizontal participants.
Protocol-led consortium: This model of a blockchain consortium is formed to develop and maintain a specific blockchain protocol, usually regardless of industry or use case. These types of consortia can evolve to add business groups that address specific use cases on top of the protocol so that there are consortia or groups hosted on top of an original consortium.
Standards-led consortium: This type of consortium typically convenes participants within the same industry or field to develop blockchain standards in order to unlock interoperability and new business models. This type of ecosystem may not develop a blockchain solution at all, or it may include a variety of tech providers to test several different possible solutions.
The research will follow other pre existing works like Blockchain tradefinance Ecosystem 2019 pdf.pdf
We are going to invite blockchain consortium founders, managers, network participants to share their experience.
We are going to issue a market survey with key questions for further understanding business ecosystem of active dlt Consortium in Trade Finance.
