Hedera Hashgraph Research Hub | HBAR information, history and analysis

Hedera Hashgraph is a public network that allows individuals and businesses to create decentralized applications (DApps). Hedera Hashgraph is designed to be a fairer, more efficient system, removing some of the limitations that older blockchain-based platforms had, such as slow and unstable performance. As its name suggests, the main technology of Hedera Hashgraph is based on the Hashgraph data structure and consensus algorithm to provide a new platform for distributed consensus.

Hedera Hashgraph was ICO in August 2018. Hedera Hashgraph launched open access for the first time a year later, in September 2019.

The HBAR token is a dual-role token in the Hedera Hashgraph network. HBAR is the power source for Hedera’s smart contracts, file storage, and regular transactions. HBAR is also used to help secure the network by allowing HBAR users to stake deposits to maintain the platform’s integrity.
