Alongside popular cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin and Ethereum, the Hedera HBAR project utilizes a unique Hashgraph technology that promises high speed and security for transactions. This article explores key aspects of this technology and its market prospects.
Hashgraph vs. Blockchain
Hedera uses Hashgraph, which differs from traditional blockchains. Instead of sequentially storing transactions in blocks like Bitcoin or Ethereum, Hashgraph employs a gossip protocol, allowing for more than 10,000 transactions per second. This makes the system faster and more efficient.

Hedera's Governance Model
Hedera is managed by a Council made up of leading global companies, such as Visa, IBM, and Google. This ensures project stability; however, it raises questions about decentralization. Currently, Hedera's mainnet is permissioned, but gradual transition to full decentralization is planned.

Adoption Data and Popularity
Hedera is quietly accumulating real-world adoption with over 45 billion transactions processed and active use in sectors such as supply chain and digital identity. Its appeal among American investors is also supported by strong trust in managing companies and clear compliance norms.

Despite its less flashy image, Hedera HBAR continues to grow and gain popularity. If the project moves forward with its decentralization plans, it could become one of the most solid options in the crypto space.
