Testimonials
We joined Hedera Council because we believe in building the kind of secure, reliable, and decentralized infrastructure that the DeFi and tokenized asset ecosystems need to grow. Hedera’s approach to governance and architecture, combined with Chainlink’s connectivity and battle-tested infrastructure, provides a strong foundation for building the future of onchain ecosystems.
Thodoris Karakostas
Head of Blockchain Partnerships, Chainlink Labs
After evaluating how digital assets are maturing and where the market is going, we looked at the things that make the Hedera network unique – the throughput, efficiency, predictable cost of transactions, plus having nodes run by the Hedera Council instead of anonymous entities – and it aligns perfectly with where we see digital assets going.
