Hedera is a decentralized, open-source, proof-of-stake public ledger that utilizes the leaderless, asynchronous Byzantine Fault Tolerance (aBFT) hashgraph consensus algorithm. It is governed by a collusion-resistant, decentralized council of leading enterprises, universities, and Web3 projects from around the world.
Hedera’s performance-optimized Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM) smart contracts, along with its easy-to-use native tokenization and consensus service APIs, enable developers to create real-time web3 applications and ecosystems that will drive the future of the internet.
Hedera is built differently from other blockchains. It has high throughput with fast finality; low, predictable fees; fair transaction ordering with consensus timestamps; and a robust codebase that ensures scalability and reliability at every layer of its network infrastructure.
- Deep dive into the Hedera Smart Contract Service and Hedera Token Service and Hedera Consensus Service
- A Solidity smart contract, deployed it to the testnet and interact with its functions
- Created and transfer fungible tokens and non-fungible tokens (NFTs)
- Created a Topic and log messages to it
- Used the Mirror Node API service to interact with the Hedera network
