Hedera is a distributed ledger platform that enables decentralized applications with high speed and low fees. It uses Hashgraph consensus instead of a traditional blockchain. Hedera HBAR  is the native token used for transactions, staking, and network services.

Hedera was co-founded by Dr. Leemon Baird and Mance Harmon. Dr. Baird is the inventor of the Hashgraph consensus algorithm, while Mance Harmon is an experienced technology executive. Together, they founded Hedera to build a public ledger optimized for performance, security, and enterprise adoption.

Hedera does not use blocks or mining. Instead, it relies on Hashgraph consensus, which uses a “gossip about gossip” protocol and virtual voting to achieve consensus. This allows Hedera to process transactions faster and more efficiently than many blockchains.

Hashgraph is a distributed consensus algorithm that enables nodes to agree on transaction order without mining. It uses gossip-based communication and cryptographic voting to achieve fast, fair, and secure consensus. This design allows high throughput and low energy consumption.

Hedera supports decentralized applications, token issuance, smart contracts, and enterprise use cases such as payments, supply chain tracking, and identity solutions. It is designed for real-world applications requiring speed, reliability, and compliance.

Hedera is secured through asynchronous Byzantine Fault Tolerance (aBFT), one of the highest security standards for distributed systems. Network nodes validate transactions and consensus is achieved without relying on proof-of-work or proof-of-stake mining.

Hedera has a fixed maximum supply of HBAR tokens. The circulating supply increases gradually according to a predefined release schedule. Updated supply data is available in real time on this coin page.

HBAR’s price is influenced by network usage, enterprise adoption, ecosystem development, and overall cryptocurrency market sentiment. Governance decisions and token release schedules can also impact market dynamics.

Hedera is governed by the Hedera Governing Council, a group of global enterprises from different industries and regions. Council members are responsible for overseeing network governance, software updates, and treasury decisions. This structure is designed to provide long-term stability, reduce the risk of centralized control by a single entity, and make Hedera suitable for enterprise and institutional use cases that require predictable governance.

Hedera supports decentralized applications focused on payments, tokenization, supply chain tracking, identity, carbon markets, and enterprise-grade DeFi. Its fast finality and low fees make it suitable for real-world use cases where transaction costs and performance matter. Many applications use Hedera’s Token Service and Consensus Service instead of full smart contracts to reduce complexity.
