Hedera
What is Hedera?
Hedera is a decentralized public network that enables individuals and businesses to create powerful decentralized applications (DApps). It provides a secure and fair environment for developers, offering high throughput and low fees for global micropayments.
How does Hedera work?
Hedera works by using the hashgraph consensus algorithm, which leverages gossip about gossip and virtual voting to achieve consensus. This approach enables fast, fair, and secure transactions across the network. Hedera's governance model ensures decentralization and transparency, fostering trust among participants.
