{"id":"hathor","version":1,"language":"en","title":"Hathor ","content":"Hathor is a digital platform for financial transactions and contracts with a unique combination of high scalability and high decentralization. It creates the perfect environment for multiple use cases where scale, efficiency, long-term security, and censorship resistance through network distribution combined are needed or can drastically cut current costs and bureaucracy.[\\[1\\]](#cite-id-tp6d69s6zw)  \n  \n# Overview  \n  \nHathor is a transactional consensus platform comprised of an entirely novel architecture, based on concepts from both directed acyclic graph (DAG) and blockchain technologies combined. Hathor solves the problem of scalability and decentralization maintenance among distributed ledger networks by including a chain of mined blocks inside a DAG of transactions. The blockchain ensures security when the number of transactions per second is small, whereas the DAG prevails when the number increases significantly.[\\[2\\]](#cite-id-ig9zjy89kjg)  \n  \nHathor is the direct result of 7+ years of academic research from its founding members throughout which they have been stress-testing its assumptions and alpha versions.[\\[3\\]](#cite-id-387xl8hizy9)  \n  \nHathor opted in for piggy-backing on the Bitcoin network of miners, so that its distributed ledger can and will also be validated by its network of miners. Hathor’s merged mining not only does not affect Bitcoin mining negatively, but also incentivizes its miners to keep their machines running, by giving HTR tokens to them at no extra cost.[\\[2\\]](#cite-id-ig9zjy89kjg)  \n  \nMain Features  \n  \nCustom Tokens: Users can create their own digital token with customized specifications on Hathor Network with only one click. They will fully work under the same technical assumptions of high scalability and decentralized consensus of its native HTR tokens. These tokens will always work independently of the price of 1 HTR and they can serve multiple purposes: financial participation in a company (stock), mileage or loyalty points of a specific store or network, votes, ownership of digital goods such as website domains, etc.[\\[3\\]](#cite-id-387xl8hizy9)  \n  \nNano Contracts: A simplified version of Smart contracts, in which two or more people transfer their funds to a special transaction through Hathor Network, called a Nano Contract, which is set to be resolved later. A contract is simply a set of rules applied to decide the final distribution of the funds, i.e., how many tokens each participant of the contract will receive. Another concept in Nano Contracts are the Oracles, which are agents that submit pieces of information from the real world (outside the network) into the network. [\\[1\\]](#cite-id-tp6d69s6zw)  \n  \n# Team  \n  \nMarcelo Salhab Brogliato - Founder & CEO  \n  \nGabriel Aleixo - Co-Founder & Business Developer  \n  \nLayla Mendes - Co-Founder & Head of the Foundation  \n  \nEric Nichols - Co-Founder & Lead Engineer  \n  \nYan Martins - Senior Engineer  \n  \nAndréia Sodré - Software engineer  \n  \nJamil Civitarese - Finance & Economics Advisor  \n  \nChristian Aranha - Crypto-Design Advisor   \n  \n","summary":"Hathor is a digital platform for financial transactions and contracts.","categories":[{"id":"cryptocurrencies","title":"cryptocurrencies"}],"tags":[],"metadata":[{"id":"references","value":"[{\"id\":\"tp6d69s6zw\",\"url\":\"https://hathor.network/\",\"description\":\"Hathor website\",\"timestamp\":1660986287290},{\"id\":\"ig9zjy89kjg\",\"url\":\"https://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/hathor/\",\"description\":\"Buy Hathor\",\"timestamp\":1660986357067},{\"id\":\"387xl8hizy9\",\"url\":\"https://icobench.com/ico/hathor?__cf_chl_captcha_tk__=e1c30dde7d5288a7220afd15ddfddca63c55b5e6-1604772992-0-AVRsjtvDCzszNu0w6HvRZnUzxhZEqkbR10RovXJfot8icqbvjUSlaz9UH7sONF9B2BveP37RcaY3CK7Qba6hv1eNC11tsW2V1EfK225THJoI48v0ioYgUySmG1RaOcYRH-gTWpVkpKUsJ-ApzVwb9Q5SFO5Vm39hSIcUZTr2guEh3RI3gcJBB5dkSpa6LptuUZFVNu4qnS6iWAo9yPOyY_iC5JR34I0_Hwa5_-YbhUc-yyYuGVAtLO4F_GVrpehScPyOe-sVgnqpIk1H3ud6oAaplETlYbXqc2FdTl64tcKuqKXdBafkP6ENvk4Sz4QCZ9cFhQwkKsho2jwE3pFlvjwZ4MNSGJutu5kgW378u1ZfhxKjfq1VpvGemPmWMqnA66qEY0rKgWbVd2pXkPDN3DRmpb7Dzog9kJwQaGlS44lM7_DOW-5dU3eiZocVamghuohnDtwcimFUM-yqzUsxQ1RCJKvpXxMyHwkUjC-EJJDj2steB-5ZJDg2ur6pKKha6g\",\"description\":\"crypto news \",\"timestamp\":1660986733045}]"},{"id":"website","value":"https://discord.gg/aWukZZXhttps://hathor.network/"},{"id":"twitter_profile","value":"https://twitter.com/hathornetwork"},{"id":"youtube_profile","value":"https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCJ88jdeV8MTP6Y7AQu7stsg/"},{"id":"discord_profile","value":"https://discord.gg/aWukZZX"},{"id":"reddit_profile","value":"https://www.reddit.com/r/HathorNetwork/"},{"id":"telegram_profile","value":"https://t.me/HathorOfficial"},{"id":"github_profile","value":"https://github.com/HathorNetwork"},{"id":"commit-message","value":"New Wiki Created 🎉"}],"user":{"id":"0x704E3d9c38E339b15631C1bedd7aCfd476ADB7a6"},"author":{"id":""},"media":[],"images":[{"id":"QmZ3XMiyYtqMjnehCWn87wEavhkykW3mSjMmLjhRKXxy5V","type":"image/jpeg, image/png"}]}
