Hathor · About

Hathor (HTR) is a Proof-of-Work transactional platform designed for small-scale financial activities. It aims to balance scalability and decentralization using a hybrid architecture combining Directed Acyclic Graph (DAG) and blockchain elements. HTR, the native token, is used for platform functions. Its architecture includes a chain of mined blocks within a DAG of transactions, leveraging blockchain for low transaction volumes and DAG for higher volumes. Transactions are validated by linking to existing confirmed transactions, bypassing Proof-of-Work. Key benefits include free transactions, maintained speed and security during high transaction volume, and decentralization. Hathor supports merged-mining with Bitcoin and Litecoin, enabling miners to earn HTR rewards alongside BTC/LTC. Nano contracts, similar to smart contracts but requiring less power, and atomic swaps are also available. Developers can create custom tokens with the same security and scalability as HTR. HTR is traded on exchanges like Kucoin, AscendX, and Gate.io.
