What is Hedera (HBAR)?

Market Cap

Hedera is a public network built on the Hashgraph consensus algorithm. Unlike traditional blockchain systems, Hashgraph offers high throughput, low latency, fair ordering, and fast finality. The network is optimized for developers needing predictable fees, enterprise-grade security, and the ability to run EVM-compatible smart contracts.

Hedera supports EVM execution, allowing developers to interact with Hedera nodes using familiar Ethereum JSON-RPC standards. This compatibility enables seamless migration of decentralized applications, wallet integrations, and contract deployment processes. Developers can query transactions, perform state validation, configure endpoints, and execute smart contracts across the Hedera mainnet, testnet, and previewnet.

Hedera provides predictable fee structures for HBAR transfers, contract calls, token operations, and large-scale production workloads. The platform’s scalability and deterministic latency make it suitable for enterprise systems, governance frameworks, tokenization, payments, digital identity, and high-throughput decentralized applications.

Key Advantages of Hedera Network

  • Hashgraph Consensus Infrasrtucture

    Hedera utilizes the Hashgraph consensus algorithm, enabling secure, asynchronous Byzantine fault tolerance and extremely fast validation. This approach ensures consistent network timestamping, fairness in transaction ordering, and efficient execution for both development and production use cases.

  • EVM and JSON-RPC Compatibility

    Hedera offers a JSON-RPC Relay that follows the JSON-RPC standard, enabling developers to interact with Hedera nodes using existing Ethereum tooling, including libraries, SDKs, and wallets like MetaMask. This includes the ability to deploy EVM contracts, execute functions, query blockchain state, and integrate with existing Web3 infrastructure.

  • Open-Source Ecosystem

    Hedera maintains open-source repositories on GitHub, including specifications, documentation, configuration examples, code examples, and deployment guides. Community services like HashIO and the Hiero JSON-RPC Relay allow developers to experiment with Hedera network features during development and testing purposes, while production use is strongly encouraged to rely on commercial-grade JSON-RPC relays or host their own instance.

Connect to the Hedera RPC with NOWNodes

Connecting to the Hedera network via NOWNodes enables developers to focus on building while NOWNodes manages reliability, uptime, configuration, node resilience, and validation cloud infrastructure. With NOWNodes node API developers and users can deploy smart contracts without running their own node. Through our RPC node endpoints, JSON-RPC relay services, and mirror node access, developers can deploy contracts, query data, run transactions, or integrate wallets with minimal latency.

Our API provides consistent performance and secure connectivity, supporting Hedera mainnet. Developers can utilize Hedera network resources without hosting their own node or maintaining complex backend infrastructure.

Shared Full NodeNOWNodes maintains more than 120 full nodes, including Hedera RPC nodes and other blockchain endpoints. All resources are accessible through a single API key, enabling rapid development across multiple networks.
Dedicated NodeA dedicated Hedera node is a private instance operated exclusively for your project. This option is ideal for enterprise applications, high-throughput workflows, validation tasks, and workloads requiring custom configuration, enhanced reliability, or near-zero latency.
