Hedera is a public ledger of transactions – a highly secure and distributed database that everyone can read from and write to. A copy of the ledger, which only persists the latest state, is stored on each node.

HederaCon is coming to Denver, Colorado, on February 25, 2025. This event marks Hedera's first major user conference since 2018, bringing together our community, developers, business leaders, builders, and industry pioneers to celebrate the progress of DLT and explore the future.

Hedera's Path to Decentralization. Hedera is a proof-of-stake public distributed ledger which aims to use a combination of a “path to permissionless” (network nodes) and a “path to widespread coin distribution” (HBAR cryptocurrency) to keep the network secure, while working to achieve full decentralization.

Hedera is a public, open source, proof-of-stake network. When hbars are staked to network nodes, they have a weighted influence on consensus for processing transactions.

Decentralized apps, developer tools, network explorers, governing council members, and more across the Hedera ecosystem.

Hedera is a global network, governed by organizations on six continents. From hello world to production, Hedera is available for each step of your journey. START BUILDING
