Decentralized governance

CODEBASE DIRECTION

Members of the Hedera Council share an equal vote in the direction of Hedera's software and services. Hedera Improvement Proposals provide the Hedera community with opportunities for input.

NETWORK STABILITY

Unlike other blockchain networks, Hedera ensures stability for end-users and application owners with a no-fork guarantee. The Hedera Council achieves this through technical controls via state proofs.

DECENTRALIZED NODES

At scale, we anticipate thousands of public nodes joining to support the network's decentralized consensus and growth. Council members run the initial set of nodes on the Hedera network.
