Mainnet Launch Date: January 3rd, 2020



Hathor's technology is a natural evolution of Bitcoin's blockchain. Instead of arranging the transactions in a Merkle Tree inside the blocks, we arrange the transactions in a DAG--outside the blocks--which are confirmed by the blocks. Our blocks are lightweight and super fast to sync in the p2p network, even with thousands of nodes. Thanks to this design, we can scale to thousands of transactions per second. Moreover, Hathor has potentially the same security as Bitcoin. It is a crypto with a scalable data structure for transactions.



Our architecture is based on the Ph.D. thesis of Hathor's founder Marcelo Brogliato, and it is a completely novel architecture. Public and open-source, with anyone welcome to join.

Why another Blockchain?



Hathor is a scalable tokenization platform. Filling out a form is all it takes, your token should be ready for use in less than a minute. There is no need to compile, configure or even program a smart contract. You don't need to know about "gas", "solidity", or "ERC 20" paraphernalia.



Creating a new token to explore a new use case must be just as trivial and mundane as taking a photo. You can take a thousand pictures and choose the best. Remember the old days when we had to develop the photos? Everything had to be perfect at the moment of the shot or costly errors would appear way later on. It must be the same for new tokens. You create 20 different tokens and keep only the best; you play around with new use case scenarios. The whole community can use Hathor in the search for the killer apps for blockchains, the most profitable ones, the most charitable ones, and so forth.



We think it is a grave error to assume the current state of affairs as some form of finality of blockchain evolution. Great use cases are about to be discovered if we unleash the right tool. The missing piece to unveil a token revolution is a scalable platform in which any 13-years-old kid can create their own token for fun, and also capable of handling all these future transactions. And we are developing this missing piece.



Why are we different?



- Highly scalable with no central coordinator or masternodes.

- Novel architecture using both DAG and Blockchain intertwined.

- No fees and fast transactions.

- Mining Blocks using Proof-of-Work.

- Built-in Atomic Swap for tokens.

- Nano-contracts: a more secure and straight-to-the-point vision for embedded smart-contract capabilities.



Can I join the network?



Sure! Hathor's network is public and distributed in a p2p network. Download our full-node and join our p2p network.

How to mine?



Anyone can mine blocks in Hathor's network. Our mining is Proof-of-Work using SHA256d (same as Bitcoin). We also support Merged Mining with Bitcoin, i.e., you can mine Hathor and Bitcoin at the same time. For further information, check out this link:



What about Hathor Wallet?



Hathor Wallet is available for iOS, Android, macOS, Linux, and Windows. Go to this link, download our wallet and try our technology:



What are Hathors (HTR)?



Hathor (HTR) is the native unit of account of the Hathor Network, created as a utility token needed to access the decentralized capabilities of our technologies.



Where did the first batch of Hathors (HTR) come from?



The first 1 billion HTRs were created during the public launch of our network. In technical terms, they were encoded, or pre-mined, in the Genesis Block, the first one generated ever and still enforced by the thousands of new blocks generated by current miners each day.



The pre-mined tokens will be distributed as follows:



- Team & Founders: 10%

- Advisors: 5%

- Pre-sale: 5%

- Operational expenditure: 60% (40% team + 20% others)

- Foundation: 20%
