Hedera (HBAR) is a project led by American interests, governed by a council of global corporations, many of which are headquartered in the United States, including Google and IBM.
Hedera is a public distributed ledger technology (DLT) platform that employs a consensus mechanism known as Hashgraph, which is designed for high speed, low costs, and scalability.
The Hedera network is recognized for its efficiency and minimal environmental impact, making it a compelling option for organizations seeking sustainable blockchain solutions. During the Covid-19 pandemic, hospitals in the UK utilized the platform to assist in maintaining vaccine temperatures.
HBAR Overtakes XLM and DOT
HBAR’s recent rise has enabled it to surpass both Stellar (XLM) and Polkadot (DOT) in market capitalization, reinforcing its status as a leading altcoin.
