SPEED OF HEDERA

We’ve learned quite a lot from the recent AMA with Nigel Clark, Hedera SVP Industries & Partners. Mainly Hedera solves for speed, fairness, stability and governance. We want to draw your attention to speed as in our opinion it is the most crucial point.

Hedera is already one of the most utilized networks on the market processing more than 6 million transactions per day. There is no surprise as the cost per transaction is just 0.001 $HBAR. Its digital platform is capable of processing over 10,000 energy transactions per second and with extremely low energy use. It's a faster and lower cost than anything else in the market.

And what about the plans? They can outperform your expectations. Hedera is planning to be the second network to hit 1 billion transactions after $ETH - in half the time! That's a performance. That's real proof. And that's real utilization! No need to say that it’s available on Guarda.

BLOCKCHAIN VS HASHGRAPH
(just in one quote)

Here is a breakdown of Hedera Hashgraph answering all the popular questions! To summarise the dfference between blockchain and hashgraph briefly, we can outline Hedera with just one quote from writer Rachel Hoffman:

"It’s quite strange to look at the chaos and think: ‘Oh, there’s clearly a perfectionist living here’. But it’s quite typical."

Hedera really may look like chaos, with a perfectionist lurking in it. Hedera’s acyclic method promises all the benefits of blockchain but excludes low transaction speeds. Though when it comes to speed, the Gossip protocol comes into the game. It can handle up to 10,000 transactions per second, with verification occurring instantaneously.
