Hedera has admitted that it is working with DLT oriented economics consulting firm Prysm Group to “re-evaluate every aspect of [its] token economic model”, with a view of developing a plan to enable the long-term well-being of the network and associated cryptocurrency.

‘Hedera Network Performance and Token Economics’ – a report published by CEO and co-founder Mance Harmon on Tuesday contains, amongst metrics and insights, this important information regarding the company’s uncertainty regarding the future of its own economy.

Other highlights from the Hedera post-OA report include that there have been over 2.2 million transactions conducted on the network over the past week, in addition to the fact that full consensus for the first distribution of 1000+ payments was achieved on the network in under two seconds.

Regarding the statistics published, Harmon stated:

“The Hedera network is delivering the performance that we believed and stated it would. We continue to work with dapps as they conduct a growing number of transactions on the platform.”
