Hedera Hashgraph is a public network that allows you to create decentralized applications (dApps). Unlike traditional blockchains, it uses a unique technology called hashgraph, which offers faster transaction speeds and enhanced security.
HBAR is Hedera's native cryptocurrency. You use HBAR to pay for network services, such as executing smart contracts and transferring tokens. Additionally, staking HBAR helps secure the network.
Hedera's network can process over 10,000 transactions per second (TPS), with each transaction costing around $0.0001 USD and achieving finality in 3-5 seconds.
