Hedera Hashgraph is a distributed public ledger that relies on a Directed Acyclic Graph (DAG) structure to achieve consensus and handle large volumes of transactions with low latency. Founded in 2018, Hedera Hashgraph aims to provide a platform for enterprise-grade applications, ensuring high throughput and security. <br><br>Hedera's native cryptocurrency, HBAR, serves as the fuel for transactions, network services, and decentralized applications on the platform. Its unique consensus algorithm combines the benefits of both PoS and Byzantine fault tolerance (BFT), contributing to its appeal as a secure and scalable distributed ledger.
