Hedera Hashgraph (HBAR) – High-speed enterprise blockchain

Hedera Hashgraph is a high-performance, decentralized public ledger platform designed for enterprise use. Unlike traditional blockchains, Hedera uses a unique Hashgraph consensus algorithm that enables fast, secure, and scalable transactions. Hedera aims to solve the issues of speed, security, and scalability that typically plague existing blockchain networks, making it ideal for applications in finance, supply chain, and beyond.

Key Features:

• Hashgraph Consensus Algorithm: Hedera uses the Hashgraph consensus mechanism, which is faster and more efficient than traditional proof-of-work or proof-of-stake systems. This results in high throughput with low latency and low energy consumption.
• High Throughput & Low Latency: Capable of processing thousands of transactions per second (TPS), Hedera provides instant transaction finality, making it suitable for high-speed, enterprise applications.
• Scalability: The platform can scale efficiently as it grows, handling increasing numbers of transactions without sacrificing performance.
• Security: Hedera offers asynchronous Byzantine Fault Tolerance (aBFT), ensuring the highest level of security by enabling the network to remain secure even if a portion of the nodes are compromised.
• Tokenization & Asset Creation: Hedera allows users to create and transfer tokenized assets (e.g., cryptocurrencies, NFTs, and digital assets) in a secure and efficient manner.
• Smart Contracts: Hedera supports smart contracts that enable developers to create decentralized applications (dApps) with built-in business logic and automation.
• Governance Model: Hedera employs a unique governance model with a governing council composed of major organizations from various industries (such as Google, IBM, and Boeing). This ensures a decentralized yet stable governance framework.
• Native Cryptocurrency (HBAR): The native cryptocurrency, HBAR, is used for transaction fees, staking, and network governance.
• Environmental Sustainability: Hedera is designed to be energy-efficient, operating with a lower environmental footprint compared to traditional blockchain networks.
• File Storage & Data Integrity: Hedera supports decentralized file storage, allowing users to store data securely and ensure data integrity across applications.
