Room 1.31-1.32 (Level 1)

As the Decentralized Trust landscape continues to evolve, the role of open source technologies in driving innovation and fostering collaboration has never been more critical. This panel introduces Hedera, a groundbreaking and fully open source DLT. Based on its unparalleled consensus algorithm, Hashgraph, it is the most energy-efficient blockchain today. And with its unique governance model comprising 31 recognized global leaders such as Google, IBM, Dell, Boeing, Standard Bank and more, Hedera is the platform of choice for dozens of decentralized application builders and a community of more than 1000 developers.

The panelists in this session will discuss why they chose to build on Hedera and highlight the types of use cases that can be built on the platform using real-world examples. They will also share ways on how developers can get started building on Hedera and the resources and opportunities available. .

Join us for an engaging discussion featuring a diverse group of participants from across Hedera’s ecosystem, including end users, developers, and community leaders. Each panelist will share unique insights into how Hedera is transforming their work.
