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.
A message to the
@Hedera
community: thank you.
Without you we would not be where we are today, and your continued support is a constant driver towards turning our vision for
#web3
and beyond into a reality.

1/5 Today is a big milestone for the
@hedera
project. At Hedera, one of the objectives has been to continually increase the decentralization of the network. We have continued to pursue that since Hedera was founded.
When we designed the
@Hedera
network, we wanted to do things differently for
#web3
. The issue of receiving unwanted tokens is an unfortunate, yet expected, result of the lack of inflow controls for wallets and accounts on most public blockchains.
For

Just hit our first billion transactions on the
@Hedera
mainnet. A huge thank you to all the applications running on us, and everyone supporting us as we hit yet another milestone in our path to becoming the trust layer of the internet.
1/4 My vision from day one has been to enable ‘Shared Worlds’, where anyone can gather, collaborate, conduct commerce, and control their own online footprint.
We are embarking on a new phase in the
@Hedera
journey. Following many years of working together, Chief Marketing Officer
@chasker
and SVP of Communications

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.
We've seen tremendous demand for HTS, with NFTs at Hedera speed. Now we're pleased to bring programmability to tokenization, with updates coming soon to our Smart Contracts, so apps can access native tokens for payments based on complex logic. []

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”.
2/5 Major decisions should be transparent: decided either through public deliberation and voting, or in meetings with the minutes published publicly. This is needed for accountable and trustworthy governance. And this kind of transparency needs to be used throughout the system.
Had an amazing time at

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).
It was great to share DeRec at CFC Smart 24. We encourage everyone in the industry to get involved, and help shape the safety net of the future for users.

3/4 Our next challenge is to develop products & services beyond the Layer 1 protocol. With Swirlds, we can deliver products & services that enable others to leverage the power of the Layer 1 protocol to create value while fostering an ecosystem where all can participate equally.
5/5 I'll continue to contribute at Hedera, as a Council representative of Swirlds, and as co-chair of the TechCom and CoinCom committees. For information about this milestone, see here 👇

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.
2/4 With the completion of V1, today's announcement of the open sourcing of the hashgraph algorithm, and an engaged Council making key decisions about the network, a critical piece of that vision is complete.
2/5 I am excited to announce that today, Mance and I - with the majority of the Hedera Hashgraph team - have officially launched
@swirldslabs
to further the decentralization of the network following the Hedera Governing Council’s vote to purchase and open-source the Hashgraph IP.
4/5 The Hedera network is fast, fair, secure, and well governed, which provides the trust layer that our ever-growing community relies on. Our focus at Swirlds Labs will be to continue to grow this network and ecosystem.
3/5 Swirlds Labs' focus is the further development of the Hedera network, and ecosystem. We will continue to implement HIPs, develop essential community tools, improve enterprise offerings, and provide critical services to the network.
