A random thought bumped my head, and it concerns the Blockchain technology on which major crypto currencies exist. We have seen over the years how one technology gets dumped for another, which in the end does offer better incentives, mostly economically, to sooth the times.
No doubt Blockchain has done really well in making lives better all round. Bitcoin and other crypto has simply been just a perfect revelation which Blockchain technology has made real.
Now where even the metaverse can boast of having its own cryptocurrencies we understand how fast decentralized system is innovating. In the nearest future some technology might simply have to be upgraded or dumped to sooth the time.
*So what happens if a new network technology out performs Blockchain technology with speed, better innovations, good charge rates and simplicity of interface?
*What automatically becomes of Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies that rely on the decentralized Blockchain network to function?
*Can Bitcoin and other crypto run on a new network technology, incase something happens to this Blockchain or it becomes too slow?
As I went to my favorite teacher, Google, I got informed on the Performance-wise Hashgraph or Hedera Hashgraph which is rumoured to be a likely successor to the Blockchain technology in the future.
Instead of the regular block protocol like the Blockchain would provide, this Hashgraph uses a protocol called 'gossip about gossip' to verify and validate before adding the transactions as individual graphs to display open ledger and transactions data.
To show this technology is out to support cryptocurrency, It also has its own hash based currency called the HBAR.
Mining has no impact here as it isn't required, fast speed, better performance, lower charges are some of the benefits this Hedera Hashgraph aims to provide.
Any thoughts?
