How Hedera Differs from Traditional Blockchains
Unlike blockchains, which use proof-of-work or proof-of-stake, Hedera uses the Hashgraph consensus algorithm.
Key Differences:
| Feature | Blockchain | Hedera Hashgraph |
|---|---|---|
| Consensus | Mining/Staking | Gossip & Virtual Voting |
| Speed | Slower | Up to 10,000 TPS |
| Fees | High | Low |
| Security | Good | aBFT-secure |
Hedera offers higher performance, security, and efficiency compared to traditional blockchain networks.
