About
Hedera Hashgraph is an enterprise-grade public distributed ledger technology that offers a new way to power decentralized applications. It enables powerful applications to run on a secure, scalable, and public network. The technology underlying Hedera, known as Hashgraph, is unique in its consensus mechanism, providing asynchronous Byzantine fault tolerance. This means that it is designed to be faster, more efficient, and scalable than traditional blockchain technologies. The primary vision of Hedera Hashgraph is to support a decentralized platform on which developers can build secure, fast, and fair applications. The platform aims to facilitate a wide range of use cases, from finance and digital identity to supply chain management and IoT connectivity. Hedera's goal is to create a trustworthy digital world, where applications can thrive while remaining private, sustainable, and compliant with regulations.
