Hedera

Hedera is an enterprise-grade public distributed-ledger network governed by the Hedera Council, a rotating body of 30+ global organizations. Ecosystem funding flows primarily through the independent Hashgraph Association, a Swiss non-profit that runs innovation and grant programmes and co-funding for startups, enterprises, and government initiatives building on Hedera, with awards reported up to $250k-$1.5M per project. Hedera also runs hackathons such as the Hello Future Apex Hackathon (up to $250,000 in prizes across tracks).¹
