Consortium governance is the model by which a defined group of organisations jointly operates and controls a permissioned blockchain or shared infrastructure. Membership, validator rights, and decision-making authority are restricted to vetted participants who agree to a governing charter. It balances the decentralisation benefits of distributed ledgers with the accountability and access control enterprises require.

This model suits inter-organisational settlement, supply-chain tracking, and regulated finance where participants need shared infrastructure without ceding control to a fully public network.
