Hedera vs Provenance

Hedera Hashgraph uses a gossip‑about‑gossip DAG protocol that achieves asynchronous Byzantine fault tolerance and finality in 3‑5 seconds. Governing Council members like Google and IBM run permissioned nodes, and the Hedera Token Service allows issuance without smart‑contract coding. The 2024 ‘Smart Contract 2.0’ release introduced Solidity bytecode support via Hyperledger Besu integration.

Provenance Blockchain is a Cosmos SDK proof-of-stake network built for financial services and tokenized real-world assets. It brings issuance, servicing, settlement and exchange workflows on-chain so institutions can replace intermediary-heavy processes with verifiable records and protocol-level controls. HASH is used for fees and governance across the network.
