Waves Enterprise provides the ability to select a set of cryptographic algorithms for deploying a private network, depending on the information security requirements of the solution.

The platform includes:

• A Proof-of-Stake (PoS) consensus algorithm is used for the public network, while Proof-of-Authority (PoA) ensures high speeds for the private network.

• Docker smart contracts. Smart contracts written in any user-defined programming language are executed in a compact, portable Docker container environment.

• Blockchain management tools. A blockchain explorer enables seamless management of permissions and participants, as well as working with contracts and contract drafts.

• Public permissioned network. A network for public projects offers the same functionality as a private network, and can be used for storing private projects’ states and anchoring.

• Data privacy. Encrypted confidential data can be transferred between designated network participants, instead of publication on the blockchain.
