摘　　要：Given the availability of several blockchain technologies in permissioned contexts,blockchain application designers have to cope with the increasing complexity of choosing which technology and consensus algorithm best fit a specific use case.However,the lack of a standard framework allowing to assess the scalability of permissioned blockchain platforms and to compare performances and features of consensus algorithms makes the development of a sensible evaluation a costly and difficult time-consuming problem.Throughout this article,we propose a practical scalability and applicability evaluation of the Quorum blockchain and its consensus algorithms.Although we apply our evaluation workflow to a financial use case,we define a methodology that can be generalized to any permissioned blockchain technology.We leverage Hyperledger Caliper as a benchmarking tool,and Docker as a deployment tool,making our analysis easy to be repeated,cross-platform,and cost-effective.
