Responsible governance

Hedera Council is a rotating group of the world’s leading enterprises, institutions, non-profits, and universities that govern the Hedera network, ensuring the network’s security, integrity, and long-term strategic direction. The Council has implemented both foundational and application-level measures to ensure compliance with U.S. sanctions laws and regulatory standards. As a result, Hedera is recognized as one of the most regulatory-compliant public DLT networks in the world today.
