Build directly on hashgraph
Write transactions at native speed for a scalable, cost-effective solution to manage exchange orders, audit logs, supply chain tracking, and endless possibilities.
The 3rd generation public ledger
Bitcoin pioneered decentralized infrastructure and Ethereum brought programmability. But earlier proof-of-work blockchains consume massive amounts of energy and process transactions slowly in order to achieve acceptable levels of security. Heavy bandwidth consumption by these technologies leads to expensive fees, even for a simple cryptocurrency transaction.
The Hedera proof-of-stake public network, powered by hashgraph consensus, achieves the highest-grade of security possible (ABFT), with blazing-fast transaction speeds and incredibly low bandwidth consumption. By combining high-throughput, low fees, and instant finality, Hedera leads the way for the future of public ledgers.
