Hedera Hashgraph

Hedera Hashgraph (HBAR) is the native, energy-efficient cryptocurrency of the public Hedera network. HBAR is used to pay application transaction fees and to protect the network from attack through its proof-of-stake mechanism. HBAR has a fixed total supply of 50 billion coins and is available for purchase on several exchanges. The symbol for HBAR is a lowercase italicized HBAR (ℏ).

HBAR is used to pay fees for network services such as transferring HBAR, minting fungible and non-fungible tokens, calling smart contracts, and logging data. 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. HBAR transactions achieve finality, on-ledger, within three to five seconds. The network achieves 10,000 HBAR cryptocurrency transactions per second, with transaction fees of around $0.0001 USD. Staking HBAR to a Hedera network node can earn a maximum of 6.5% APY and will maintain the security of Hedera’s network operations.
