Distributed Ledger Technology: Myths & Facts
summary
DLT is an umbrella for blockchains, DAGs, Hashgraph, Holochain, Tempo and purpose-built chains like Radix, not just Bitcoin; consensus varies — proof of work, proof of stake, proof of space, BFT and hybrids — with energy and scalability tradeoffs. Enterprise use is real: Hyperledger Fabric and Corda power private permissioned networks, Ripple/EOS are public permissioned, and centralized systems now add ledger features like Azure SQL ledger and Amazon QLDB. Real deployments exist in finance and government but face regulation, maturity and integration challenges.
