HBAR is now accepted as a form of payment for services. This change reflects a structured approach to incorporating efficient and modern payment infrastructure. HBAR’s attributes support secure, low-cost, and real-time transactions suitable for digital operations.
HBAR
HBAR is the native cryptocurrency of the Hedera network, which operates on a distributed ledger model using Hashgraph consensus. It is designed to deliver higher transaction speeds and lower fees than traditional blockchain systems.
Key features of HBAR include:
- Transaction finality in seconds
- Low transaction fees (often under $0.001)
- Energy-efficient operation
- Network-level carbon offsetting
HBAR is used in enterprise-grade applications, smart contracts, and decentralised services across industries including finance, health, logistics, and government.
Rationale
HBAR payments offer functional advantages that support efficient digital service delivery:
- Cost efficiency
Enables low-fee transactions without compromising on speed. Suitable for international payments without third-party processors. - Security
Uses Hedera’s aBFT consensus mechanism to ensure tamper resistance and minimise failure risk. - Sustainability
Operates with low energy consumption and carbon offsetting, supporting environmentally responsible infrastructure. - Application
Available for use across current services with wallet-based invoice processing. Clients can request HBAR payment at the engagement stage.

These articles support a broader strategy for adopting practical decentralised infrastructure where applicable.
Implementation
HBAR payments are processed manually via secure wallet-to-wallet transfers. Clients may request crypto invoicing as part of standard service engagement. Confirmed transactions are recorded and reconciled with project schedules and deliverables.
HBAR payment integration improves transaction flexibility while supporting core standards in speed, cost, and operational security. This addition is a functional enhancement to the service experience and supports future-facing business models.
Clients may request HBAR payment options when initiating a project or contract.
