What Exactly is Hathor Network?
Hathor Network is essentially a scalable and user-friendly distributed ledger designed to support light financial transactions and contracts. It also functions as a consensus platform with a unique architecture that combines Directed Acyclic Graph (DAG) and blockchain technologies. In essence, it is a blockchain integrated within a DAG, where both elements are interlinked.
Hathor’s architecture allows the network to handle hundreds of transactions per second. Additionally, it shares a significant portion of its hash rate with Bitcoin. During periods of low transaction volume, the blockchain ensures security, while a surge in transactions shifts the workload to the DAG. This hybrid architecture is ideal for a variety of use cases, particularly those requiring high scalability.
Key Features of Hathor Network
Fee-less Transactions
One of the biggest issues with the Bitcoin blockchain is its heavy transaction fees. In contrast, transactions on the Hathor network are always free. This allows users to experience seamless and cost-free transactions on the platform. Individuals and businesses can enjoy secure and efficient transactions without any fees.
Superior Scalability
Hathor Network also boasts much greater scalability compared to Bitcoin or Ethereum. This means that even as transaction volumes rise, the network’s security and speed remain uncompromised. Importantly, this is achieved without the use of any centralized coordinator. Hathor is a completely decentralized ledger that ensures long-term security even as transaction volumes grow.
Merged Mining Benefits
The Hathor network supports merged mining with Bitcoin and Litecoin. This allows miners from these networks to also mine HTR without losing any profit from Bitcoin and Litecoin chains. Additionally, miners receive HTR token incentives at no extra cost, providing a sense of security and motivation to mine HTR.
Nano Contracts
Another notable feature of Hathor is the Nano Contract, which is currently under development. Nano Contracts are similar to smart contracts but require significantly less computational power and incur lower fees. By integrating built-in automatic swaps, Nano Contracts aim to eliminate transaction fees, making them a lightweight and cost-effective alternative to traditional smart contracts.
History of Hathor Network
Hathor’s innovative architecture was initially proposed by Co-founder and CTO Marcelo Salhab Brogliato in his PhD thesis. Development of the Hathor Network began in August 2018, with the mainnet going live on January 3, 2020, at 6:15 PM UTC, exactly 11 years after Bitcoin’s genesis block. Hathor’s Genesis block included a pre-mined supply of 1 billion HTR.
In October 2020, Hathor Labs partnered with one of its early adopters, HTRFDT, to develop a comprehensive ecosystem. This ecosystem includes HathorSwap, a no-gas decentralized exchange (DEX); HathorVirtualCard; HathorMerchantDirectory; and HathorPay, which launched in May 2021.
In April 2021, Hathor Labs announced a partnership with Ankr, a node-as-a-service platform that supports over 30 blockchains. This partnership integrates Hathor with the Ankr platform, making it easier for dApp developers to deploy and manage full nodes, thus becoming part of the network.
