Hedera is an open-source blockchain platform which boasts its own cryptocurrency, HBAR. The platform facilitates the creation of native tokens and supports Smart Contracts written in Solidity, similar to the prominent Ethereum network.
Hedera employs a unique "hashgraph" consensus model, promising enhanced transaction throughput. Security for the network is provided through a proof-of-stake protocol.
The HBAR tokens were initially introduced via a Simple Agreement for Future Tokens (SAFT) in December 2017, followed by subsequent rounds in early 2018 and August 2018, exclusively available to accredited investors. The genesis block of the chain was finally produced on September 13th, 2019.
Investors can easily invest in HBAR by creating an account with Bitbuy, adding funds to their account directly through e-Transfer, bank wire or Apple Pay and buying HBAR directly through the Bitbuy platform.
