Hashgraph Unveils HashSphere - A Private, Permissioned Blockchain Built by Hedera Technology (2025)

Purpose Built for Highly Regulated Enterprises, HashSphere Empowers Users to Develop Innovative Financial Products on a Secure and Compliant Blockchain

New York City — On March 31, Hashgraph unveiled HashSphere, a private, permissioned blockchain developed with Hedera technology, tailored specifically for highly regulated enterprises. Currently, in beta, HashSphere offers a flexible DLT solution to accommodate varying enterprise needs while ensuring robust security, compliance, and interoperability with today's regulatory demands.

While the Hedera public network is lauded for its transaction speeds, unmatched security, and sustainability, enterprises in regulated markets often face compliance hurdles, especially concerning KYC and AML rules. HashSphere addresses these challenges by offering the best of both worlds—a private, permissioned network ensuring regulatory compliance, privacy, and control while facilitating future interoperability with Hedera’s enterprise-grade public network.

Andrew Stakiwicz, Head of Solutions at Hashgraph, emphasized, “Hedera’s vision has been about creating ‘shared worlds’—interconnected networks that enable enterprises to harness DLT without sacrificing privacy or control. After extensive R&D, HashSphere was meticulously designed to overcome barriers to enterprise adoption.”

Currently, existing private DLT solutions struggle with vendor lock-in, single points of failure, and limited scalability. Meanwhile, public chain subnets often entail security risks through anonymous node validators with inadequate data protections. Moreover, layer-two solutions usually achieve scalability by compromising on finality and security. HashSphere mitigates these issues by merging Hedera technology with the privacy and control inherent in a private, permissioned network.

Key Benefits of HashSphere:

• Interoperability:Provides native compatibility between private networks and the Hedera public network, ensuring flexibility and scalability.
• Fully Managed Service:Minimizes IT complexity and overhead through customer support, low operational costs, and fully managed nodes.
• Scalability and Security:Facilitates the building and scaling of digital assets, tokenization, and AI solutions within a secure, enterprise-grade environment.
• Data Privacy & Governance:Meets rigorous data privacy standards and establishes necessary governance for industry regulations and future decentralization.
• EVM-Compatible Development:Allows developers to craft and deploy applications and smart contracts using Solidity and other EVM languages, seamlessly transitioning dApps from other EVM private networks.

HashSphere is designed to fulfill the needs of customers across various sectors, including asset management, banking, and payment providers requiring secure, cost-efficient cross-border stablecoin transactions. Fintechs can use HashSphere to innovate financial products encompassing asset tokenization, AI governance, and automated workflows. Furthermore, financial services firms can utilize HashSphere for real-time payments, asset tokenization, and post-trade settlement within a secure, private network.

Rob Allen, who heads the Future Payments (Web3) strategy at Australian Payments Plus, Australia's national payments scheme operator and a beta user of HashSphere, stated, “Our exploration of digital money’s future impacts our members, stakeholders, and regulators. As a Hedera Governing Council member, we value HashSphere for its enhanced privacy and regulatory compliance, while requiring network interoperability for seamless stablecoin exchange between public Hedera, private HashSphere, and other Layer1 protocols.”

Leveraging Hedera technology, HashSphere integrates with Hedera’s trusted services, including the Token Service for digital asset management, the Consensus Service for transaction recording with trusted timestamps, and the Smart Contract Service for EVM-compatible decentralized applications. It supports stablecoin and asset-backed token creation, equipping enterprises with comprehensive tools for building and scaling blockchain solutions.

Hashgraph is currently collaborating with early beta partners like Australian Payments Plus, Blade Labs, and Vayana, while onboarding more users. Interested parties can explore partnership opportunities on the HashSphere website. The public launch of HashSphere is slated for Q3 2025.
