Git doesn’t need consensus mechanisms because it’s “permissioned”, like Hyperledger. All actors are known and given permission by some entity to contribute.

You can’t contribute to the Linux kernel unless your changes have been approved by someone trusted with permission. You cannot contribute to whatever Walmart is doing, because you haven’t acquired permission to do so.

    By providing transparency, auditability, and traceability throughout the food supply chain.
    Or in other words it prevents fraud. If the input data is falsified and people to get sick, it’s just a matter of plugging in the QR code for the contaminated product.
