Channels are used to isolate the businesses in the blockchain network. One consortium can have multiple channels. Each channel represents a business and has its own ledger. Members in a channel are participants (organizations in a consortium). An organization can join multiple channels.
Create channels
Note: When creating a channel, you need to select the organizations to be added to the channel. Make sure you have created an organization in the consortium. For related operations, see Create consortia , Create organizations , Add organizations to a consortium.
