Hydra is a POS (Proof of Stake) blockchain. Everyone can become a full node in a few clicks and stake HYDRA to help maintain the network. Stakers receive a high economic stream through block rewards, awarded by the blockchain. This ensures the chain is always well-protected against "51% attacks".
Hydra provides 50% gas royalties to smart contract owners. Developers/Projects receive 50% of the transaction fees whenever their smart contract is executed by a user. This unlocks a unique economy for DEX applications and DAPPs with high transaction volumes that are currently wasting this enormous economic stream.
The philosophy behind Hydra is to implement critical economic features while utilizing proven technology for data transmission. In addition to a number of unique economic features, it stimulates stakers and market participants to contribute to its true decentralized architecture.
