# Channels

Channel on Spydra is a private “subnet” of communication between two or more specific network members. Each channel is defined by member organizations, shared ledgers, chaincode applications, ordering services, and anchor peers. Private or confidential transactions can be carried out within the channel among members. 

With Spydra, your deployed Network comes with a default channel, and all organizations part of the network will automatically be part of the default channel. Additionally, Spydra also provides you the option to add new channels to the network with custom memberships.
