With Hedera’s network, NFTs can operate at high speed with up to 10,000 transactions per second, thanks to Hashgraph. Hedera is characterized for being a public, open source and sustainable network, with very low fees.
We can mention some examples that allow us to visualize the low costs of operating in such a network. Through its official websitethey state that to create an NFT Collection, the“Fixed Fee” (since the denomination in USD is used but paid in its native token $HBAR) is only $1.00 USD. To mine an NFT or associate a token with an account, the fee is $0.05 USD, and to transfer an NFT is $0.01 USD.
About Hedera’s blockchain
It is an open source, public, near-zero pollution, proof-of-stake blockchain that uses the Hashgraph consensus algorithm. Hashgraph is a faster and more secure alternative to blockchain consensus mechanisms.
Hashgraph was created by Leemon Baird Hedera, and guarantees the highest level of security to prevent malicious attacks. Once a consensus is reached, the transaction is immutable and available in the public ledger for all to see, providing a higher level of transparency.
It is governed by a decentralized governance board of companies, universities and web3 projects from around the world. In turn, it allows developers to create real-time web3 applications with the Ethereum Virtual Machine(EVM) optimized for Hedera Virtual Machine(HVM) smart contract performance.
Thanks to Hashgraph’s consensus algorithm, it ensures that Herdera’s blockchain is the most sustainable public network in the ecosystem, based on average energy consumption per transaction, according to a recent study by University College London.
Also, from their website they set out the steps to get started in the public and open source Hedera network to develop or collect an NFT.
