Hedera consensus nodes must strike a delicate balance between Hedera security and EVM security models. The latest security model for Hedera smart contracts provides greater clarity and additional protections relative to its predecessor.

Let's explore the Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM) equivalence and Hedera's strategic approach to ensuring robust programmability for applications and ecosystems across the network.

Zug, Switzerland - 17 May, 2023 – The Hedera Governing Council, which stewards the Hedera open source, leaderless proof-of-stake public network, today announced that COFRA Holding has joined the Governing Council.

The security model of the Hedera Smart Contract Service has been updated with the mainnet services release v0.35.2 (March 2023). The updated model aligns the behaviors of the Hedera Smart Contract Service token system contracts with those of EVM and typical token APIs such as ERC 20 and ERC 721. Read this article to learn specifically what changed, what it means for developers, and what actions you should take.

In this step-by-step tutorial, you will create a simple counter dApp on the Hedera network using Solidity, React JS, MetaMask, and Ethers JS. The goal with this example is to help you understand the fundamentals of dApp development, making it easier for you to create more complex dApps in the future.

Explore the concept of Maximal Extractable Value (MEV), including a real-world example, MEV’s implications on ecosystem stakeholders, and how Hedera is natively resistant to MEV behavior by using its unique consensus mechanism and fixed-fee economics.

In this tutorial, we'll walk you through the process of connecting to MetaMask using create react app. We'll also guide you through the steps to transfer HBAR to the MetaMask wallet. By the end of this tutorial, you'll have a solid understanding of how to seamlessly integrate MetaMask into your Hedera decentralized application. So, let's get started! 🎉

Hedera is committed to setting the industry standard for transparency, reporting, and business process maturity. We operate in a dynamic environment and fast-changing landscape, and the Council will be reviewing and evolving our reporting methodology over time.

On Thursday, March 9, an attacker exploited the Smart Contract Service code of the Hedera mainnet to transfer Hedera Token Service (HTS) tokens held by certain DEXs’ accounts to the attacker’s own account. The following is a summary of the attack: how it happened, steps taken to pause the attack and then permanently prevent it from happening again.
