With over 20 years of technology and startup experience, he has held positions as a Professor of Computer Science at the US Air Force Academy and as a senior scientist in several labs. He has been the Co-Founder of several startups, including two identity-related startups, both of which were acquired. Leemon received his PhD in Computer Science from Carnegie Mellon University and has multiple patents and publications in peer-reviewed journals and conferences in computer security, machine learning, and mathematics.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>About Hedera<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Hedera is a decentralized enterprise-grade public network on which anyone can build secure, fair applications with finality in a few seconds. The platform is owned and governed by a council of the world&#8217;s leading organizations including Avery Dennison, Boeing, Dentons, Deutsche Telekom, DLA Piper, eftpos, \u00c9lectricit\u00e9 de France (EDF), FIS (WorldPay), Google, IBM, LG Electronics, Magalu, Nomura, Standard Bank Group, Swirlds, Tata Communications, University College London (UCL), Wipro, and Zain Group. Hedera Hashgraph is a platform that presents itself as a faster,\u00a0 and more secure alternative to blockchain.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It sidesteps energy-intensive mining by using a technology called Directed Acyclic Graph.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In most blockchain-based projects, the verification process relies on mining, an energy-intensive process requiring computers to work through fiendishly difficult computations to verify transactions. Can Hedera Hashgraph sidestep that problem by removing mining entirely and using an entirely new ledger structure? We find out below.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong><i>What is the Hedera Hashgraph?<\/i><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Hashgraph is not a blockchain in the sense that it\u2019s built on a chain of blocks. It\u2019s best to imagine it as a graph, whereby the speed of verifying transactions goes up as more transactions are added to the network. The name for the technology it\u2019s based on is, in fact, known as a DAG\u200a, short for Directed Acyclic Graph.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This technology is designed to help Hedera Hashgraph achieve more than 100,000 transactions per second, making it a true competitor to Visa and other mass-market payment systems.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Hedera network currently performs 6.5 million transactions per day with an average transaction time of 5 seconds\u2014easily surpassing Ethereum&#8217;s 1.2 million and Bitcoin&#8217;s 300,000 transactions put together.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong><i>How does Hedera Hashgraph work?<\/i><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A council of 19 multinational corporations from around the world govern the platform and the software that will run on millions of nodes globally. To reach consensus, instead of mining, nodes on the Hashgraph &#8220;gossip&#8221; with each other, comparing notes on the transaction history of the network.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As the nodes gossip, they select a few \u201cfamous witnesses.\u201d Each witness is an event or a transaction and they become famous because they are communicated to the nodes early in the process. The chosen nodes then compare the gossip about these famous witnesses in the majority of nodes.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>Leemon Baird Links and sources<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/in\/leemon-baird\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/in\/leemon-baird\/<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/leemonbaird\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">https:\/\/twitter.com\/leemonbaird<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.swirlds.com\/about\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">https:\/\/www.swirlds.com\/about\/<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.crunchbase.com\/person\/leemon-baird\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">https:\/\/www.crunchbase.com\/person\/leemon-baird<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Hashgraph\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Hashgraph<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/hedera.com\/about\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">https:\/\/hedera.com\/about<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/blockchain.news\/insight\/hedera-hashgraph-chief-scientist-dr-leemon-baird-defeating-byzantine-generals-bringing-layer-of-trust-to-the-internet\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">https:\/\/blockchain.news\/insight\/hedera-hashgraph-chief-scientist-dr-leemon-baird-defeating-byzantine-generals-bringing-layer-of-trust-to-the-internet<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/hiddenforces.io\/podcasts\/leemon-baird-hashgraph-consensus-whitepaper\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">https:\/\/hiddenforces.io\/podcasts\/leemon-baird-hashgraph-consensus-whitepaper\/<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/cointelegraph.com\/magazine\/2020\/04\/24\/journeys-in-blockchain-leemon-baird-hedera-hashgraph\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">https:\/\/cointelegraph.com\/magazine\/2020\/04\/24\/journeys-in-blockchain-leemon-baird-hedera-hashgraph<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.forbes.com\/sites\/jeffkauflin\/2018\/03\/13\/hedera-hashgraph-thinks-it-can-one-up-bitcoin-and-ethereum-with-faster-transactions\/?sh=38ede791abcb\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">https:\/\/www.forbes.com\/sites\/jeffkauflin\/2018\/03\/13\/hedera-hashgraph-thinks-it-can-one-up-bitcoin-and-ethereum-with-faster-transactions\/?sh=38ede791abcb<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.bizjournals.com\/dallas\/inno\/stories\/news\/2021\/02\/11\/hedera-hashgraph-launches-tokenization-service.html\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">https:\/\/www.bizjournals.com\/dallas\/inno\/stories\/news\/2021\/02\/11\/hedera-hashgraph-launches-tokenization-service.html<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Dr. Leemon Baird is the inventor of the hashgraph distributed consensus algorithm, and is the Co-Founder and Chief Scientist of Hedera.
