Frequently Asked Questions
Hedera Hashgraph is used to build decentralized applications (dApps) that require fast transactions, secure data logging, or tokenized ecosystems. It supports use cases in DeFi, NFTs, supply chain, healthcare, and more through features like smart contracts and native token services.
Unlike blockchains that rely on miners and blocks, Hedera uses a directed acyclic graph (DAG) and aBFT consensus for faster, fairer transaction ordering. This allows for high throughput, low fees, and fast finality, making it attractive for developers looking for scalable infrastructure.
You can build a wide range of apps including NFT marketplaces, DeFi platforms, supply chain tracking tools, digital identity systems, healthcare data registries, and financial settlement platforms using Hedera’s native services.
Yes, Hedera supports Ethereum-compatible smart contracts using Solidity. Developers familiar with Ethereum can write and deploy smart contracts on Hedera while benefiting from faster speeds and lower transaction fees.
Enterprises choose Hedera for its security (via aBFT), predictable fee model, low energy consumption, and enterprise governance model. It's suitable for regulated sectors like finance, healthcare, and logistics where stability and data integrity are key.
