Hashgraph Algorithm

Definition

The Hashgraph algorithm is a distributed ledger technology that utilizes a gossip protocol and a virtual voting mechanism to achieve consensus without mining. It records transactions in a directed acyclic graph structure, distinct from a linear blockchain. This approach aims to deliver high transaction throughput, low latency, and fair ordering of events. It offers an alternative consensus model to traditional proof-of-work or proof-of-stake systems.
