About Dusk Network
Dusk Network is a technology for securities. An open-source and secure blockchain (DLT) infrastructure that businesses use to tokenize financial instruments and automate costly processes. A distributed Financial Market Infrastructure (dFMI) should provide a clear and final settlement of transactions. Moreover, the settlement of transactions should be instant or near-instant (<15s). The popular proof-of-work consensus mechanism used by Bitcoin and Ethereum does not address these requirements. Therefore, we designed a more performant consensus called Succinct Attestation agreement that enables instant settlement of transactions within 15 seconds. Powered by zero-knowledge technology, organizations use the dusk networks to issue tokens that are governed by privacy-preserving smart contracts. Harnessing the power of DLT while respecting confidentiality agreements, and data protection legislation.

Hedera Hashgraph
Hedera is owned and governed by the world's leading organizations. Hedera is the most used enterprise-grade public network for you to make your digital world exactly as it should be – yours. HBAR is the native, energy-efficient cryptocurrency of Hedera that powers the decentralized economy. Whether you're a startup or enterprise, a creator or consumer, Hedera goes beyond blockchain for developers to create the next era of fast, fair, and secure applications. Bitcoin pioneered decentralized infrastructure and Ethereum brought programmability. But earlier proof-of-work blockchains consume massive amounts of energy and process transactions slowly in order to achieve acceptable levels of security. Heavy bandwidth consumption by these technologies leads to expensive fees, even for a simple cryptocurrency transaction. The Hedera proof-of-stake public network, powered by hashgraph consensus, achieves the highest-grade of security possible (ABFT).
