What is Hedera?

The Hedera network is a blockchain that allows users to send and receive HBAR tokens.

Hedera has been built to support fast, fair, and secure applications. The Hedera network achieves this in a very energy-efficient way that also allows many thousands of transactions per second.

This is achieved with the Hedera hashgraph consensus algorithm.

How do I reset my Hedera account?

Resetting your Hedera account can only be done on Exodus Desktop.

Hedera accounts can only be linked to one public key at a time. If you use your Hedera account and import it into a different wallet or service, then you might see a message similar to the one below:

If that's the case, you have two options:

  1. Import your Hedera account back into Exodus again. This will unlink it from the other service and relink it to your Exodus wallet.

  2. Or, reset your Hedera account. This will unlink the Hedera account from your Exodus wallet, so you will no longer see it. To do this, a) go to your Hedera wallet, b) click on the More menu in the top right corner, and c) click Reset Account.

    If you reset your account in Exodus, please make sure to keep your account safe in the other service you are using!
