What is Quorum Blockchain?<\/strong><\/h3>\n
\u201cEnterprise-focused\u201d Ethereum blockchain is one of the simplest ways in which we can describe Quorum. Quorum is the brainchild of JP Morgan<\/a> who wants to advance blockchain technology in the financial industry.<\/span><\/p>\n
As you might already know the Finance sector requires a specific kind of blockchain. It should be fast, have high throughput and should work while keeping participants privacy in check. JP Morgan knew that and hence developed Quorum which offers high-speed processing and performance while maintaining transaction details hidden. It also works flawlessly in a permission group where participants know each other. In short, Quorum tries to build a blockchain solution that can cater to the needs of the financial industry. However, it\u2019s usage is not confined to the finance industry only. We will discuss more blockchain use cases<\/a> in a later section of the guide.<\/span><\/p>\n
As it is based on Ethereum<\/a>, it uses smart contracts<\/a> to facilitate transactions within the blockchain. JP Morgan aim is to implement a Global Network Payments initiative and help banks to use distributed networks. This will increase efficiency, streamline global payments, enable 24\/7 status tracking and payment settlement, and so on.<\/span><\/p>\n
