Why Hedera and HBAR?
The Hedera Network
The public ledger.
Rebuilt for institutions.
Hedera is a next-generation distributed ledger that offers a fast, secure, and energy-efficient alternative to traditional blockchains. Built on the innovative Hashgraph consensus algorithm, Hedera enables high-performance applications across finance, enterprise, and public sectors. With over 8 million accounts created and over 70 billion transactions since inception, the Hedera ecosystem continues to grow with expanding adoption.
Key Features of the Hedera Network
Hashgraph Consensus
Hedera’s unique consensus algorithm offers fast finality, low latency (under 3–5 seconds), and fair transaction ordering without leader-based bottlenecks.
Public Ledger Services
Store, verify, and share data on a decentralized, tamper-proof ledger—eliminating the need for central authorities while maintaining trust and transparency.
Governing Council
Hedera is governed by 30+ global enterprises like Google, IBM, and LG—each with equal influence, fixed terms, and no single point of centralized control.
Energy-Efficiency
With extremely low energy consumption per transaction, Hedera is one of the most carbon-efficient distributed ledger technologies available today.
Proof-of-Stake
Hedera uses a proof-of-stake model to secure the network—delivering scalability, efficiency, and resilience without compromising decentralization or sustainability.
Native HBAR Token
HBAR is used to pay fees, stake for network security, and power incentives—fueling Hedera’s consensus, smart contracts, and decentralized service operations.
