Hedera: a uniquely structured technology
Hedera is a crypto platform that depicts itself as “the most used, sustainable, enterprise-grade public network for the decentralized economy.” It seeks to serve as a public network where anyone can transact and deploy applications. It utilizes “the fast, fair and secure hashgraph consensus.”
HBAR is the native cryptocurrency of the Hedera network with a dual role within the public network. First, it fuels Hedera services, such as smart contracts, file storage and transactions. Second, it secures the network, since HBAR users can stake their tokens and maintain the integrity of the platform.
Hedera is the 34th largest digital asset in terms of market capitalization at the time of writing.
