About Hedera (HBAR/USD)
Hedera Hashgraph is a distributed ledger that replaces blockchain's sequential block structure with a directed acyclic graph (DAG) approach called hashgraph, enabling higher throughput and mathematically proven asynchronous Byzantine fault tolerance. The network is governed by a council of up to 39 multinational organizations, including Google, IBM, Boeing, Deutsche Telekom, and LG, each serving limited terms to prevent centralization of control. HBAR is the native token used for transaction fees, staking, and accessing network services including the Hedera Token Service, Consensus Service, and Smart Contract Service. The network has focused on enterprise adoption, processing billions of transactions for use cases like supply chain tracking, carbon credit tokenization, and advertising fraud prevention. HBAR/USD on StoicFX is a CFD, no HBAR tokens are purchased or held on your behalf.

FAQ
What is hashgraph and how does it differ from blockchain?
Hashgraph is a consensus algorithm that uses a gossip protocol and virtual voting to achieve agreement across nodes. Unlike blockchain, which builds a single chain of blocks, hashgraph creates a DAG (directed acyclic graph) where every piece of information is retained, enabling higher throughput and mathematically proven fairness in transaction ordering. The tradeoff is that Hedera's hashgraph implementation is patented, which limits forks and open-source decentralization.
Who governs Hedera and why does it matter for HBAR's price?
Hedera is governed by a council of up to 39 global organizations across industries, including technology, telecommunications, finance, and aerospace. Council members operate nodes and vote on network changes. This structure provides enterprise credibility but has been criticized as less decentralized than permissionless blockchains. Council member activity and new additions can serve as price catalysts.
Why does Hedera have such a high transaction count compared to other networks?
Several enterprise applications running on Hedera, such as advertising verification services, generate millions of daily microtransactions. The Hedera Consensus Service allows applications to timestamp and order data at low cost without storing it on-chain. These high-frequency enterprise use cases inflate transaction counts beyond what typical DeFi activity produces on other chains.
If I trade HBAR/USD on StoicFX, do I hold any HBAR tokens?
No. HBAR/USD on StoicFX is a Contract for Difference. You trade HBAR's price against the US dollar without holding any tokens. To participate in Hedera staking or use network services, you would need actual HBAR in a compatible wallet.
