Issuer Identification
S0: Executive Summary
Hedera HBAR is classified in the RWA Atlas as a platform-category entity. Hedera operates a public distributed ledger technology network utilizing a hashgraph consensus mechanism. HBAR is the native cryptocurrency of the Hedera network, used for network services including transaction fees, network security through proof-of-stake, and smart contract execution.

HBAR is a native protocol token, not a tokenized claim on off-chain assets such as real estate, commodities, securities, or receivables. The classification as "Tokenized real-world asset exposure" appears inconsistent with the nature of the asset.
