Hash Graph

Definition

A Hash Graph is a type of distributed ledger technology that uses a gossip protocol and a directed acyclic graph (DAG) data structure to achieve consensus. Unlike traditional blockchains that process transactions sequentially, Hash Graph allows for asynchronous communication and parallel processing, potentially leading to higher transaction throughput and faster finality. It is a novel approach to achieving distributed agreement on the state of a ledger. This structure provides a foundation for highly scalable decentralized networks.
