“HBAR – Hedera Hashgraph cryptocurrency to deploy dApps on Hedera platform”

Leemon Baird, founder of Swirlds invented the Hashgraph algorithm. This revolutionary algorithm allows for consensus to be reached in a safe, fair, and quick manner. The Hashgraph algorithm is built on the virtual voting mechanism that is combined with gossip protocol.

Hedera hashgraph framework allows you to make micropayments, create smart contracts, and store files. It is designed to meet the needs for distributed applications market.

Developers do not need a license to use the platform. However, they will require the platform coin Hbar to access distributed applications on the platform.

Hedera Hashgraph cryptocurrency was designed to be quick, which makes it possible to make micropayments and has low network fees. Hedera Hashgraph users can also earn Hbar by running a node on the network.

This article is for entrepreneurs and innovators who wish to gain a deeper understanding of Hedera Haschgraph’s Cryptoeconomics.

Two types of mechanisms are involved in Hedera Hashgraph’s cryptoeconomics:

• Staking
• Proxy staking

Staking

Staking is the process of purchasing crypto-coins, and keeping them in an account for a short time. You can stake coins into your account to get rewarded for managing the network.

It is essential to allow people to become nodes within the network in order to achieve transparency and performance benefits of shardings. Sybil attacks are prevented by the implementation of the system where each node has an impact on the consensus. This influence is proportional to how much Hbar the node holds.

Hbars must be staked in order to maintain the network.

Proof-of-stake is used in the Hedera ledger. Each account must be identified by a node when it joins a network. A node will receive a payment to act as a network node. The amount available in the account is proportional to Hbars. This makes stake earn interest.

Proxy Staking Mechanism

Proxy staking is a mechanism that allows any user to own the coins, but not run any nodes. The proxy staking allows the user to stake these coins and earn interest by linking their account with a node. This means that the user can provide another account credit and allow a node access to their stake.

The node’s owners split the payments for running the node. It is possible to negotiate the split ratio of profit between proxy stakers and nodes.

Hbars that are proxy staked by proxy owners remain under the control of their owner. They can turn off proxy staking or redirect it to another node at anytime. They can also spend cryptocurrency at any moment, which will decrease the amount they receive in payment for staking.

To perform the following tasks, you must have at least a few cryptocurrency in your node’s account:

• Encourage consensus
• You will be paid for your services as a node operator
• Send transactions to the ledger and pay fees

Proxy staking allows you to earn interest without having to run nodes.

We will now discuss the type of payment and fees required to access distributed applications on Hedera Hashgraph platform.

Fees and Payments

Users must pay fees to the platform if they need to add or transfer crypto coins.

The Hedera network is able to handle high throughput and does not require proof-of-work (POW), so the expected fee is lower than other platforms. Hedera nodes receive compensation for the computing, storage and bandwidth they use to reach consensus and offer services.

These are the different types of fees and payments associated with Hedera Hashgraph platform

Node Fee:

Users can use the platform’s services to interact with the node. The node will submit the transaction for them. If the user wishes to transfer Hbar from one account to another, they can approach the mode and present the signed transaction.

The node will then add the transaction to another event it creates, and tell (gossip it) it out to other network members to join the consensus. A node fee is paid by the user to compensate the user for performing the task. Hedera does not determine the fee. It is negotiated between the user, the node and the user.

Service fee:

This is the amount that the user pays to use any Hedera service. If the user submits a transaction to store a file in the ledger then the fee will be calculated according to the Hedera’s schedule.

Storage fees are calculated as fees per file and a per-byte per second. If Hbars are not sufficient, the file will not be stored and the user will not be charged. If funds are available, the user will be charged and the file will be stored.

Network fee:

Each network charges a transaction fee. Every transaction is subject to a fee. This includes the cost of the nodes gossiping transactions, storing it in memory and computing the consensus.

The fee is calculated based on a transaction’s amount and the amount of each byte in the transaction. The network fee is charged to the node when there is consensus on the transaction.

If the transaction is initiated by the user then the user will be charged the pay the node network fees the node paid.

Hedera collects the network fees and services on behalf of nodes that perform the services and process transactions. Hedera uses the collected fees to fund two types of payments.

Incentive Payment:

Hedera will pay the node once a day from its account, to encourage them to become a node. A node must be online for at least 24 hours to qualify for payment. Hedera will determine the thresholds. The amount of Hbar a node stakes will determine the amount it receives.

Dividend Payment:

Hedera pays the Governing Members a payment for their governance roles. Hedera will split the fees collected between incentive payments and dividend payments.
