HBAR
Hashgraph consensus with a council of real-world institutions.
Hedera does not use a traditional blockchain. It uses hashgraph — a gossip-about-gossip protocol with asynchronous Byzantine fault tolerance. HBAR pays fees and secures the network. A governing council of global companies and institutions runs the public network.
Hedera is one of the names that keeps coming up alongside XRP when people talk about institutional settlement, carbon markets, and high-throughput messaging. Council governance is a feature for enterprises and a debate for decentralists. Know the tradeoff before you repeat a slogan.
Not financial advice. Knowing a ledger is not the same as buying the asset.
