1/5 The current turmoil we are seeing reinforces the importance of getting the basics right. Distributed ledgers need governance that is responsible, decentralized, and transparent. Governance should be by well-known, diverse parties acting as checks and balances on each other.

5/5 'Getting the basics right’ also means the system should be green (low CO2 footprint), fast, inexpensive, and fair. Fair means there’s no single node that’s beyond your control that can delay your transaction. These are the fundamentals needed to build a 100+ year ledger.

3/5 It shouldn’t be possible for a single person to move funds secretly. Large cryptocurrency transfers should require signatures from multiple parties. And the underlying system should also be ABFT. So it should start with the guaranteed finality of BFT without the “A”.

4/5 And it should also have the leaderless DDoS resilience of the “A” in ABFT. If there’s never a leader, even for a moment, then you can’t shut down the whole ledger by shutting down a single computer at a time (a DDoS “follow the leader” attack).

@HederaInform @AveryDennison @Sadiq_Umair Great use of HCS. The HCS provides a service like a notary public, proving the consensus of the entire network on its timestamp and order. And immutably storing it permanently on mirror nodes with cryptographic proofs that it was valid. It can even power private networks.
