The Wyoming Stable Token Commission (WYST) announced at its last Commission meeting that the Frontier Stable Token (FRNT), the first state-issued stable token in the United States, will soon also be available on Hedera, a trusted public network governed by leading global institutions. Hedera was selected as the only additional blockchain to be a candidate for FRNT, during the Commission’s Q2 evaluation, having met stringent criteria for speed, reliability, and regulatory alignment.

Over the past couple of months, Hedera AI-Studio has been on a roll, delivering smart enhancements and developer-focused improvements to make it easier to build AI-powered applications on-chain. In July 2025, the team launched a re-architected Version 3 of the Hedera Agent Kit—a JavaScript SDK that simplifies the creation of AI agents capable of interacting with the Hedera network.

The SDK Feedback Survey is live. Help shape the future of Hedera SDKs by telling us what works, what’s missing, and where we can improve. This month, we also cover the SDK namespace transition to Hiero, the full mainnet traffic switch to HIP-1217 logic, and deep dives into HIP-1046 and HIP-1127 from our latest Technical Community Call.

This month’s Hedera Highlights features Hedera at Sibos 2025, a Blockaid partnership for Web3 security, and ecosystem growth with Dfns, KAIO, and Swarm. Asset Tokenization Studio won a TechForward Award, Hiero graduated as LFDT’s first project, and global hackathons, including Africa’s largest, showcase Hedera’s innovation.

Modern software platforms rely on frequent, reliable updates to stay secure and competitive. This blog provides an overview of Hedera’s release cadence and the reasoning behind its frequent updates.

This month’s Hedera Highlights showcase major strides across finance, AI, and policy. The Reserve Bank of Australia and Digital Finance Cooperative Research Centre's Project Acacia has selected Hedera technology for its wholesale CBDC pilot. EQTY Lab's Verifiable Compute has taken a big step by launching its platform on the NVIDIA Blackwell architecture. In the UK, Lloyds, Aberdeen, and Archax completed the first institutional FX trade using tokenized assets. Regulatory momentum continues with the U.S. CLARITY Act and the UK’s digital finance strategy. Meanwhile, Hedera To Earn launched with 24M+ users, and the Hello Future Hackathon kicked off with a $550K prize pool.

The Hello Future: Origins Hackathon is in full swing, with builders worldwide competing for $550K in prizes—you can still join until August 8. This month also marks the release of Hedera Agent Kit v3 and the start of the migration to Hiero, unifying Hedera projects under a new namespace. Plus, new HIP proposals aim to boost scalability and security, and a Consensus Service price update is coming in 2026.

As previously announced in September 2024, Hedera projects have migrated to Hiero under Linux Foundation Decentralized Trust. This significant evolution involves a critical namespace transition from hashgraph to hiero or hiero-ledger, affecting project dependencies and SDK imports. This shift emphasizes greater transparency, collaboration, and open-source innovation, and developers are encouraged to update their dependencies accordingly to stay aligned.

As we continue in our series exploring REITs in web3 - diving into the key features and components that make up our end-to-end RWA/DeFi solution - we aim to provide a comprehensive overview of both real-world asset tokenization in general as well as Hedera’s role within this emerging industry. In doing so, it is essential to feature thought leaders and industry partners within the space to provide you with the fullest picture possible of what the potential future of tokenized real estate looks like.
