Hedera is a decentralized public network where developers can build secure, fair applications with near real-time consensus. The platform is owned and governed by a council of global innovators including Avery Dennison, Boeing, Deutsche Telekom, DLA Piper, FIS (WorldPay), Google, IBM, LG Electronics, Magalu, Nomura, Swirlds, Tata Communications, University College London (UCL), Wipro, and Zain Group. The Hedera Consensus Service (HCS) acts as a trust layer for any application or permissioned network and allows for the creation of an immutable and verifiable log of messages. Application messages are submitted to the Hedera network for consensus, given a trusted timestamp, and fairly ordered. Use HCS to track assets across a supply chain, create auditable logs of events in an advertising platform, or even use it as a decentralized ordering service.
Newton aims to create a new kind of economy - the community economy - by building blockchain infrastructure to enable freer, fairer transactions by anyone in the world. At the foundation is our NewChain blockchain and related technologies, with one primary chain and multiple subchains to ensure a high TPS. On top of that we offer infrastructure for smart contracts, IoT, AI, logistics, insurance, and a suite of apps for payment, retail, agriculture, and much more.
