$HBAR is the token behind an enterprise grade public ledger with low fees. Transactions finalize in a few seconds because sync uses very little energy. The token pays newtork fees and backs PoS and HTS tokenization, including the Hedera Token Service. Developers write EVM-compatible smatr contracts to build payment apps and identity systems. I once watched a supply-chain team track pallets across three warehouses on the same network. Governed by a global council of enterprises, the network aims to be scalable and carbon negative for real-world Web3 use.
