HTR Rank #1916Price chart
What is Hathor?
Overview
Hathor is an infrastructure platform designed to simplify blockchain development and token creation. It addresses the complexity and cost barriers of existing smart contract platforms by eliminating gas fees and removing the need for specialized programming knowledge. The network enables users to create and deploy custom tokens with the same security and scalability properties as the native HTR token.
How it works
Hathor uses a directed acyclic graph to organize transactions outside blocks, which are then confirmed by blocks—a structure inspired by Bitcoin but modified for higher throughput. The network operates on SHA-256 proof-of-work consensus. This design achieves both scalability and decentralization while simplifying token mechanics compared to traditional smart contract platforms.
Token and supply
HTR is the native asset of the Hathor blockchain. It functions as the network's currency and settles transactions without incurring gas fees. Total supply is approximately 869 million HTR, with no maximum cap listed. The token operates under the same protocol rules as all custom tokens created on the network.
