Background
Hedera is a public ledger that uses a consensus algorithm called hashgraph, which is leaderless and asynchronous. It is decentralized and open-source, and operates through a proof-of-stake mechanism. The governance of Hedera is managed by a decentralized council comprising leading enterprises, universities, and web3 projects worldwide, which is designed to be resistant to collusion.
Hedera’s performance-optimized Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM) smart contracts, along with its easy-to-use native tokenization and consensus service APIs, enable developers to create real-time web3 applications and ecosystems that will drive the future of the internet.
Hedera is a unique blockchain that offers high throughput, fast finality, predictable fees, fair transaction ordering, and a reliable infrastructure. The network is governed by leading organizations to ensure that it is resistant to collusion.
