🚨 What is Hedera Hashgraph: a comprehensive post.
🚀 Why GAINS has been bullish on Hashgraph for more than a year now.
💪 Why we've worked so hard to provide our community the best prices (https://primablock.com/p/m5hIEuoPsHc/contributor).

💰 Disclosure: we are personally invested. We put our money where our mouth is.
✅ Our resources can be found at the bottom of this post. We have a public track record (https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1Yj0bMaBlwqlGmoYVlHNFxuCU4XFOFNxMuvr3L7YmdPM/edit). We've been around since February 2018 and are as legit as it gets 😉


🔷 1. Summary
🌐 In a nutshell, Hedera Hashgraph is the enterprise-grade public network for decentralized applications.
🔎  They came up with a virtual voting system that is Asynchronous Byzantine Fault Tolerance (ABFT). It is as efficient as you can be in terms of bandwidth usage and it reaches the theoretical limits of what can be achieved in terms of security in a distributed consensus algorithm.  

🔷 2. Characteristics
🔹a. Fast: low-latency transactions with guaranteed finality in seconds.  
🔹b. Fair: Fair access, timestamps, and transaction ordering that can't be manipulated by malicious nodes.
🔹c. Secure: Proven (https://www.hedera.com/blog/coq-proof-completed-by-carnegie-mellon-professor-confirms-hashgraph-consensus-algorithm-is-asynchronous-byzantine-fault-tolerant) with Coq, best-in-class asynchronous Byzantine fault tolerant security that's resistant to DDoS and Sybil attacks.
🔹d. Stable: Reliable network governed by term-limited enterprises with no authorized forks, and the ability to meet local and global data regulations.

🔷 3. Services
🔹a. Cryptocurrency: Fast cryptocurrency transactions, low fees (a fraction of a cent).
🔹b. Smart Contracts: Write in Solidity, run on Hedera, get the best of both worlds: The Ethereum SC coding language with the performance of the Hedera network.
🔹c. File Storage: The files service is purpose-built to manage credentials and to verify that data existed at a certain time with a fair timestamp. They also have proof of deletion that will bring more use cases and help with GDPR compliance.
 

🔷 4. Milestones
✨ Their mainnet has been live (https://medium.com/hashgraph/standing-up-our-mainnet-7d4dc95ba2ce) since August 2018.
🔝 There are more than 300 dApps currently building on their network. For comparison, this website (https://www.stateofthedapps.com/stats) counts 2.5k dApps on Ethereum and then only 279 on EOS. This other website (https://dappradar.com/rankings) gives about 500 dApps on EOS and 400 on Tron. If all dApps were to go live, this would put Hashgraph very close to the likes of EOS and TRON. Remember also that Hashgraph is still in its infancy and that achieving such a high number of dApps already is very promising.
