How Kaleido Dedicated Sidechains Compare

Public Sidechain

Build web3 on a chain owned
and shared by others

Compete with other customers' traffic with a shared sidechain

Unpredictable gas fees

No control over chain configurations and consensus algorithms

Nodes run by unknown or unwanted parties

No control over who uses the Sidechain

Users must get and use crypto to transact

Dedicated Sidechain

Dedicated sidechain with only your users and traffic

Zero gas fees, zero transaction fees. Period.

Full control over chain configurations and consensus algorithms

You own the nodes, we manage the protocol complexity

You decide user Sidechain access and throughput rates

Users can transact however you want
