While billions of people use the internet every day, few are aware of the technology underpinning it. However, not knowing what powers the internet has doesn\u2019t inhibit the users\u2019 ability to enjoy the experience. He told CNBC:<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p id=\"span_1769543714865a5f78b7b\" class=\"n2-text-block\"><span id=\"widget_1769543714864d3ef9e84\" class=\"n2-text-block\">\u201cHedera will be the same. It\u2019s providing a set of services for the Web3 economy, but it\u2019s like plumbing: it\u2019s going to be at the bottom of this new technology stack that enables Web3, which everyone will use.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<h2>Hedera: Like Blockchain, But Better<\/h2>\n<p>Unlike other networks, Hedera relies on hashgraph, a different type of decentralized technology where data is stored in directed acyclic graphs (DAGs), with nodes constantly sharing information about transactions and consensus reached mathematically, as our detailed <a href=\"https:\/\/www.crypto-news-flash.com\/hedera-hbar-explained-2025-technology-tokenomics-real-world-use-cases\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">guide<\/a> breaks down. Hashgraph is faster as records are added in parallel, and its costs are much lower.<\/p>\n<p>Harmon summed it up:<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p id=\"span_1769543779609667c17ee\" class=\"n2-text-block\"><span id=\"widget_17695437796095f23bf8b\" class=\"n2-text-block\">\u201cHashgraph solves the same category problems as blockchain, but it does it in a far more secure and efficient and performant way.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Another way Hedera sets itself apart is its node validators. On networks like Bitcoin, any user can run a node. However, Hedera brought together over 30 of the world\u2019s largest companies with global repute to run the nodes, with membership to this group rotating among the members. This includes Google, Aberdeen, IBM, Dell, LG, Hitachi, Dentons, and Ubisoft.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_1279874\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-1279874\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wp-image-1279874 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.crypto-news-flash.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/Screenshot-2026-01-31-at-11.20.27.png\" alt=\"Hedera Council\" width=\"1000\" height=\"602\"><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-1279874\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Image courtesy of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cnbc.com\/advertorial\/2026\/01\/30\/how-hederas-technology-and-governance-model-could-reshape-the-digital-economy.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">CNBC<\/a>.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>This council guarantees that the network doesn\u2019t rely on one party. This approach also ensures that it\u2019s impenetrable, as attackers would need to breach the security guardrails of some of the world\u2019s most important companies.<\/p>\n<p>Hedera\u2019s approach has attracted millions of users, both retail and enterprise, Harmon says. One of the sectors where it has made great headway is tokenization. \u201cWe can instantaneously skip settlement and clearing and go straight to atomic swaps\u2014delivery versus payment\u2014in one fell swoop. One transaction in a fraction of a second,\u201d he noted.<\/p>\n<p>Like most other networks, Hedera is also targeting the AI sector, Harmon added. One of the ways Harmon believes will be the most impactful is agentic payments, where the AI agents can engage in autonomous commerce among themselves. The payments that will flow between these agents will \u201cdwarf what we\u2019ve seen today in our existing economy.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He stated:<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p id=\"span_176954390839508e0fd2e\" class=\"n2-text-block\"><span id=\"widget_1769543908395f899c9ad\" class=\"n2-text-block\">\u201cNormal payment systems don\u2019t work well if you\u2019re talking about transferring value that\u2019s a fraction of a U.S. penny.
