Passionate Community
According to Kabrera, the Hedera community is one of the most educated, loyal, and passionate in Web3.
Admittedly, the developer stated that the various forums could certainly have a pocket of gamblers, flippers, and scammers. However, its community is filled with people who are passionately and genuinely seeking to use technology to address real-world problems. The likes of HashPack Wallet, Kabila App, SaucerSwap Labs, etc were cited as part of the talented projects and companies within the Hedera ecosystem innovating and leading the way in blockchain use cases.
Speed of the Hedera Network
As captured in his post, Kabrera believes that the speed of this project “is in a league of its own”. Hedera’s transaction achieves finality in around three seconds, positioning it for mass adoption.
Nobody waits today. 3 seconds vs 30 seconds can be the difference between a viable Social DApp or a complete failure. Great user experience requires speed.
Super Low, Fixed Fees
Thirdly, the efficiency of the Hashgraph algorithm, according to the developer, has enabled super low fees at $0.0001 and $0.02 for minting a Non-Fungible Token (NFT). Most importantly, these fees are fixed, which enables businesses to offer predictable pricing.
Best-in-class technology
According to Kabrera, the Hashgraph consensus algorithm is a gift. His reason stems from the fact that the algorithm provides future scalability, decentralization, and high-grade security. Explaining the importance of this, he disclosed that most networks collapse in the long run due to the fact that their gas fees skyrocket unreasonably once they become successful and start handling a lot of transactions.
To him, Hedera provides a solution to this.
Developer Experience
The fifth point has to do with how Hedera’s native services have made it extremely easy for developers through the availability of traditional languages like Java, JavaScript, or Go. This is contrary to the new programming language like Solidity required by other networks to build on a blockchain.
Hedera’s provisions, according to Manu Kabrera, reduce entry-level barriers, costs, and development time.
Governance Model
In terms of governance, the developer believes that the community should have channels to submit proposals and feedback. Also, the reports that the entire economy could be tokenized on a blockchain demand that this responsibility falls on a group of experienced developers. According to Kabrera, Hedera has a governance system of 39 large, trustworthy entities with different backgrounds ranging from technology to logistics. These include Google, IBM, Ubisoft, etc.
All members of the Governing Council have a single vote and a maximum term of 3+3 years on the Council, preventing the concentration of power. This Council meets monthly, and all topics discussed and decisions made are transparently published on the Hedera website.
Foundation of the Hedera Network
In his final point, Kabrera stated that the originality of the Hedera Foundation could propel it to dominate the Web3 ecosystem. However, it would have to work on its clear processes, support for key ecosystem builders, transparency, and accountability.
At press time, HBAR was trading at $0.048 after surging by 1.19% in the last 24 hours.
