A federated blockchain, commonly known as a consortium blockchain, is a private blockchain network managed by multiple entities wherein each participant retains special privileges.

Consortium blockchains are a less decentralized Distributed Ledger Technology (DLT) that maintains some benefits of distributed systems for enterprise and government use cases.
