What MultiChain does
MultiChain, operated by Coin Sciences Ltd (United Kingdom), is an open-source enterprise blockchain platform forked from Bitcoin Core that enables organizations to build and deploy private, permissioned blockchain applications. The platform comes in two editions: MultiChain 2 Community (free, GPLv3-licensed) and MultiChain 2 Enterprise (commercial, starting at $5,000/node/year with a $25,000 minimum annual contract). Core technical differentiators include a rewritten database-driven wallet (LevelDB) sustaining 100+ tx/sec with low memory usage, JavaScript-based Smart Filters for programmable transaction validation, fine-grained permissioning, native assets (including NFTs introduced in 2.2), data streams for on/off-chain JSON storage, and configurable round-robin consensus with optional proof-of-work. MultiChain can be deployed on premise, in public/private cloud, or via Microsoft Azure, and the firm maintains 50+ platform partners (SAP, Accenture, BCG, PwC, Wipro, HCL, Cognizant, Finastra, Worldline) and 20+ product partners who embed or resell the platform.
The company has operated since 2015 with a deliberately small team (1-10 employees per public firmographics) and a single disclosed institutional funding event in January 2017 with Mosaic Ventures. Revenue is generated exclusively through commercial Enterprise licensing (Community with Support at $25,000/year for up to 4 nodes; Enterprise with Support at $7,500/node/year, $25,000 minimum; Enterprise without Support at $5,000/node/year) and partner reseller margins, with the bulk of go-to-market executed through the SI/channel network rather than direct sales. Product cadence continues with version 2.3.3 released May 2023, and the platform was cited in Cambridge Judge Business School's 2nd Global Enterprise Blockchain Benchmarking Study.
