Hedera Price (HBAR)

Hedera is a super fast and secure blockchain platform designed for developers to create and launch decentralized apps (dApps) using Solidity, the same language tied to Ethereum. It's built for serious scalability, handling hundreds of thousands of transactions per second. On top of that, its governance system makes sure decisions are balanced as the platform grows. You can find the HBAR price live on EXMON 24/7.

Hedera runs on the hashgraph consensus model, which makes things lightning fast. Thanks to sharding — where different node networks handle parts of the work simultaneously — Hedera can process hundreds of thousands of transactions per second. Consensus is reached through "gossip-about-gossip" and "virtual voting," making the whole process smooth and efficient. If a transaction is invalid, it’s still added, but the network eventually pivots to focus on the valid ones, so it doesn’t waste time on the wrong ones. The network's evolution is like a tree growing branches, enabling it to move at top speed without worrying about which blocks to keep or ditch.

Dr. Leemon Baird is the brain behind Hedera and the creator of the hashgraph consensus model. He's also the co-founder and chief scientist of the project. Mance Harmon is the other co-founder, and he teams up with Dr. Baird as his business partner to make Hedera what it is today.

Hedera's HBAR token has a total maximum supply of 50 billion. As of now, around 14% of that supply, which is 7 billion HBAR, is already out in circulation.

Hedera stands out because of its unique hashgraph consensus mechanism, created by Dr. Leemon Baird, which gives it crazy speed, top-notch security, and scalability. Unlike other blockchains, Hedera doesn’t rely on traditional mining or Proof-of-Work systems. What’s even cooler? Hedera has a governance model made up of 39 different entities, including universities, top industries, and non-profits from around the world. These entities serve for three years and are required to pick their replacements, ensuring a balanced and diverse decision-making process. It’s this solid governance structure that helps Hedera stay decentralized and trustworthy.
