Hedera is a public network that utilizes a hashgraph consensus algorithm. Unlike a traditional blockchain, which selects a single miner/validator to choose the next block, the community of nodes running hashgraph comes to an agreement on which transactions to add to the ledger as a collective. Through gossip-about-gossip and virtual voting, the hashgraph network comes to a consensus on both the validity and the consensus timestamp of every transaction.

In blockchain, consensus rules require that blocks eventually settle in a single, longest chain, agreed upon by the community. In hashgraph, every container of transactions is incorporated into the ledger — none are discarded. All the branches continue to exist forever and are woven together into a single whole.
