Hashgraph Technology

Definition

Hashgraph technology is a distributed ledger technology that uses a different consensus mechanism than traditional blockchains. Instead of a linear chain of blocks, it employs a directed acyclic graph (DAG) structure, achieving consensus through a process called “gossip about gossip” and virtual voting. This approach aims to provide high transaction throughput, low latency, and strong security guarantees. Hashgraph represents an alternative architecture for decentralized systems.
