Three platforms dominate the enterprise blockchain conversation. Each represents a fundamentally different philosophy about what enterprise blockchain should be.

• Corda: Blockchain reimagined for finance — point-to-point, not broadcast. UTXO asset model. JVM ecosystem.
• Hyperledger Fabric: The maximalist — every feature, every configuration option, every enterprise requirement. Docker. Channels. PKI.
• MiniLedger: The minimalist — single-process, zero-config, JavaScript-native. Simplicity as the primary feature.

This isn't a "which is best" comparison. It's a "which philosophy matches your organization" comparison.

Corda is the most elegant enterprise blockchain architecture. Its UTXO model maps cleanly to asset transfers. Its point-to-point privacy model is purpose-built for financial services. Its CorDapp framework handles complex multi-step workflows that would be painful in other platforms.

But elegance has a price — and Corda's price is higher than most teams budget for. Here's the honest TCO breakdown that R3's sales deck won't show you.
