Hedera (HBAR) is a crypto currency that is unique within the crypto sector because it does not use blockchain technology. Instead, it uses hashgraph, a public ledger that timestamps transactions between nodes. This technique falls under the so-called distributed ledger technology (DLT). A timestamp contains transactions and is nothing more than cryptographic proof of when a transaction took place. This is similar to some blockchains that use timestamps. However, hashgraph technology is more scalable because it makes more efficient use of active nodes.

Hedera (HBAR) uses hashgraph, a technology that is seen as an alternative to blockchain technology. According to the developers, hashgraph can process transactions faster and more efficiently. It uses Gossip-about-Gossip (GaG), a process that allows information to be distributed quickly. This process is linked to timestamps (the order in which transactions are processed). Consensus on a transaction is reached using only active nodes. This makes the system faster and cheaper than blockchains, since blockchain technology also communicates with inactive nodes.

Hedera Hashgraph uses asynchronous Byzantine Fault Tolerant (aBFT). This is a system that is always secure, even if some nodes fail. In addition, Hashgraph does not use blocks, as is the case with a blockchain, but a Directed Acyclic Graph (DAG). This means that transactions are not placed in blocks, but are processed in parallel in the timestamp. This makes the network more efficient and energy-efficient than many blockchains.

The network's crypto currency, HBAR, is used for payments on the network, security and the creation, payment and execution of smart contracts.

Hedera Hashgraph was launched in 2018 by Leemon Baird together with an ambitious management team and a group of investors. Baird is a former professor of computer science in the United States and came up with the idea to develop the hashgraph. The patent on the Hashgraph technology belongs to Swirlds, of which Baird is co-owner. The Hashgraph is sold to developers on the network as a license.

The announcement of the project was broadcast live on a livestream in New York. The livestream had 50,000 viewers. The network was introduced together with the board of the network, which consists of a group of companies including Google, Deutsche Telekom and LG.
