What Hedera Hashgraph is
Hedera Hashgraph (HBAR) is a proof-of-stake Layer-1 blockchain, currently ranked 27th by market capitalization among the assets we track. Hedera Hashgraph is a Layer-1 smart-contract platform secured by proof-of-stake: validators lock HBAR as collateral, and the protocol slashes anyone who misbehaves. The token is simultaneously gas, collateral, and a claim on staking yield.
Hedera Hashgraph (HBAR) is a decentralized public network that enables fast, secure, and low-cost transactions through its unique consensus algorithm known as Hashgraph. It is designed for a variety of applications, including decentralized finance, digital identity, and supply chain management.
How consensus and the token economy connect
Because security is bought with bonded HBAR rather than hardware, the share of supply staked is a useful gauge of conviction — and of how much float is effectively locked.
Under the hood, HBAR secures its ledger with Asynchronous Byzantine Fault Tolerance, built on the aBFT algorithm.
Background & fundamentals
Hedera Hashgraph lists a documented core team of 3, so the people behind the project are at least named on the record. Its codebase is open-source, meaning the implementation can be audited rather than taken on trust. The project publishes a whitepaper documenting its original design, which is worth reading before sizing any position in HBAR.
CoinPaprika classifies the project's development status as "Working product". In sector terms it is most often filed under Cryptocurrency, Smart Contracts, and Token Issuance.
Where Hedera Hashgraph sits in the market
With HBAR near $0.0693, Hedera Hashgraph carries a market capitalization of $2.94B. Around $47.82M changes hands across exchanges in a typical 24-hour window. That is a turnover of about 1.63% of the float — on the quieter side, which can mean thinner liquidity for large orders.
Almost the entire HBAR supply is already in circulation (~5000.0% of the 1B cap), so future dilution is effectively off the table. HBAR remains -88% beneath its all-time high of $0.5661, the kind of gap that historically takes a full cycle or a fresh catalyst to close. Measured from its all-time low of $0.0292, HBAR is up +137%.
What the price history shows
Recent moves read 24-hour -3.58%, 7-day -10.24%, 30-day +4.34%, 1-year -46.64%. Across roughly the last 365 days of daily candles, HBAR endured a peak-to-trough drawdown of about 73% before stabilizing.
Volatility profile
Recent action puts Hedera Hashgraph in the Moderate-volatility band — it shows the kind of price movement common in mid-cap crypto assets — meaningful but not unusual. Over the last 30 days the move totals +4.34%, a useful input for stop placement and position sizing.
How to evaluate Hedera Hashgraph
For an asset of this type, three lenses matter most:
- Real usage — active addresses, fees paid, and total value locked — does on-chain demand justify the valuation?
- Staking economics — the share of HBAR staked, the yield, and unlock/queue dynamics that govern liquid supply.
- Ecosystem depth — how many applications and how much liquidity have chosen Hedera Hashgraph over competing Layer-1s.
