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.
'SingularDTV is laying the foundation for a decentralized entertainment industry. On September 2019, SingularDTV announced the first Censorship Resistant Media DAO: The SNGLS DAO. The SNGLS DAO will provide the non-profit governance layer for the SNGLS Media Distribution Protocol. Established by SingularDTV as an independent and objective organization to guide the development of the protocol, the prime directive of the SNGLS DAO is to uphold the tenets of decentralization and build a truly decentralized, community-owned, self-adaptive media distribution protocol.'
