Working with Hedera Hashgraph to support the next generation of distributed ledger technology.
Leemon Baird is the Co-founder and CTO of Swirlds Inc.
our audience will get a first-hand look
at what may become the future of the Internet.
Hashgraph is a revolutionary new distributed ledger technology like no other.
It is able to scale faster, with greater safety, and more fairly than any of its blockchain competitors.
This makes Hashgraph superior to existing blockchain databases in every way — i.e., unlike blockchain, it is fast/high throughput (100,000< transactions per second pre sharding), fair (mathematically proven fairness with consensus time stamping), and secure (asynchronous byzantine fault tolerant).
These properties expand decentralized use cases to complex markets, auctions, crypto-currency micro payments, live games (even MMOs), and much more.
Swirlds has secured early funding from New Enterprise Associates and already has enterprise adoption.

It has been adopted by credit unions, payment providers, and is currently in due diligence phases with large banks. Official footage was just released of decentralized applications built in 24 hours at the TechCrunch Disrupt 24hr Hackathon using the Hashgraph SDK i.e. a decentralized live game, a decentralized eBay / auction market, a decentralized Disaster Relief Platform , and more.
These are examples of distributed applications which cannot be made using current blockchain technology.
