Mance Harmon, the CEO of Swirlds, the company that created the Hashgraph-distributed consensus platform, told TheStreet that Hashgraph is a next-generation distributed consensus technology.
"It is not a blockchain, but instead is a simple, elegant algorithm, mathematically proven to achieve consensus, and implemented in software," he said. "It is the only 'bank-grade' consensus technology available in the market today."
Angel Versetti, co-founder and CEO of Ambrosus, a company using blockchain to assure the quality and safety of products such as medicine and commodities, warned that everyone should be cautious of anything that is billed as "blockchain-killer."
