Ensuring Decentralized Governance At Scale
Hedera is designed for fast, fair, and secure applications to take advantage of the efficiency of hashgraph on a decentralized, public network you can trust. Achieve fast, low-latency transactions with guaranteed finality in seconds, not minutes or hours.
Join a future built on trust
Hedera is the trust layer of the internet. A decentralized public network for you to make your digital world exactly as it should be – yours. Whether you're a startup or enterprise, a creator or a consumer, Hedera goes beyond blockchain for developers to create the next era of fast, fair, and secure applications.
The 3rd generation public ledger
Bitcoin pioneered decentralized infrastructure and Ethereum brought programmability. But earlier proof-of-work blockchains consume massive amounts of energy and process transactions slowly in order to achieve acceptable levels of security. Heavy bandwidth consumption by these technologies leads to expensive fees, even for a simple cryptocurrency transaction.
The Hedera proof-of-stake public network, powered by hashgraph consensus, achieves the highest-grade of security possible ABFT, with blazing-fast transaction speeds and incredibly low bandwidth consumption. By combining high-throughput, low fees, and finality in seconds, Hedera leads the way for the future of public ledgers.
Primary Network Services
The Hedera Consensus and Token Service take advantage of the high-throughput, low latency features of the network, running at the native performance of the network's underlying hashgraph protocol.
Token Service
Create your own token on hedera
The Hedera Token Service (HTS) enables the configuration, minting, and management of fungible and non-fungible tokens on Hedera without needing to set up and deploy a smart contract.
Consensus Service
Build directly on hashgraph
Create scalable and publicly verifiable timestamps and ordering of events for any application. Track assets on a supply chain, count music streams for digital rights, or log digital asset transfers.
