Enterprise Ethereum :How it Differs from DLT?
You might have come across the concept of enterprise blockchain projects as it is 
now gaining more popularity each day. Numerous companies are collaborating 
with these business networks for streamlining shared business processes such as 
tracing real-world goods, managing data, and tracking transactions

Understanding Enterprise Ethereum ?
Ethereum, as most of us would already know, is a public blockchain that allows us 
to write codes to control money and build applications that are accessible from 
anywhere in the world. It is a public blockchain which allows application 
developers to pay using Ether (Ethereum's cryptocurrency) for services availed on 
the Ethereum blockchain.

An enterprise Ethereum is one where the Ethereum codebase is used by 
enterprises across the world to form business blockchain networks. While there is 
no single product called "Enterprise Ethereum," the term refers holistically to 
blockchains that are developed using modified Ethereum clients like Quorum and 
Pantheon. These address the specific needs of the enterprise, such as increased 
performance, scalability, and privacy, along with permissions and governance 
controls.

Another significant fact to note here is that enterprise Ethereum networks will not 
face the same privacy or scaling constraints as the public Ethereum. As the 
network size of enterprise Ethereum networks is smaller and the block sizes and 
the gas limits can be adjusted, it is possible to scale more transactions per second 
like other distributed ledger technologies (DLT).

Reasons for Ethereum Being More Than a DLT
R3's Corda and Hyperledger Fabric are the other enterprise solutions that have 
gained popularity. Let us now understand the various features that make 
enterprise Ethereum the most powerful and versatile blockchain for business.

1. Enterprise Ethereum Can Access the Public Ethereum, the Most 
Developed and Secure Blockchain Platform in the World
Enterprise Ethereum is faster due to increased participation. This is not the 
case with distributed ledger solutions. Right from 2015, many people have 
purchased millions of dollars of Ether on the public Ethereum.

Many developers have built more than 2,000 decentralized applications on 
Ethereum. This is what makes Ethreum's public network the most advanced 
and tested blockchain platform in the world.

So, how does enterprise Ethereum benefit by developing on the public mainnet? 
Building on Ethereum will help enterprise solutions quickly adopt updates to 
Ethereum and benefit from the innovation of the ecosystem. It offers them an 
active and vast high-value public blockchain and all the elements of its ecosystem.

2. Enterprise Ethereum Can Be Rapidly Deployed and has the Lowest Cost 
Business Model
The open-source and flexible codebase of Ethereum helps enterprise Ethereum 
have a low-cost business model as it eradicates dependence on a single large 
solutions provider whose business model focuses on upselling and feeding on 
deep dependencies cloud and consulting services.

 Private, permission Ethereum networks can be set up within weeks when 
compared to other solutions that are difficult to maintain. New business solutions 
are constantly launching like Kaleido's blockchain business cloud, which is an 
example of a SaaS platform to build and run enterprise blockchain solutions.

3. It Offers the Largest Enterprise Ecosystem
Ethereum is the most active technical blockchain community across the globe, 
with more than 2,000 decentralized applications and more than 300K 
infrastructure experts and developers. The enterprise and consumer arenas of 
Ethereum are developing standards to guide regulation and promote 
interoperability for the future success of the blockchain.

4. Enterprise Ethereum Helps Future-Proof Companies
Future-proofing is the concept of protecting companies against obsolescence. For 
enterprise Ethereum solutions, future-proofing can be applied to three things, 
namely your company's data, your company, and Ethereum itself. Future-proofing 
can also mean the actual functioning of a blockchain. A blockchain helps keep 
data safe, immutable, and future-proofed. Decision-makers may even define 
future-proofing as mitigating risk to ensure prolonged success for their businesses.
