#Hedera

Hedera is an enterprise-focused public network governed by a council of large global organizations, designed around the hashgraph consensus algorithm rather than a traditional blockchain data structure. Hashgraph uses a gossip-about-gossip and virtual voting model to achieve high throughput, fast finality, and asynchronous Byzantine fault tolerance, which Hedera markets as a foundation for performance-sensitive enterprise use cases. The network supports several core services, including Hedera Token Service for tokenization, Hedera Consensus Service for ordered, timestamped messages used in supply chain and audit applications, and Smart Contract Service for EVM-compatible execution. The HBAR token is used for transaction fees, network services, and staking that contributes to consensus weighting. Hedera governance model — with council seats held by major corporations across multiple industries — has been a central differentiator and a topic of debate within the broader decentralization conversation. The platform has been integrated into a range of enterprise pilots, public-sector projects, and tokenized real-world asset initiatives. HBAR price action tends to track council expansion, enterprise adoption announcements, and broader network usage metrics.
