Asset Tokenization Studio, built on Hedera with key contributions from ioBuilders, is an open-source solution designed to simplify the tokenization of real-world assets like bonds and equities. This blog takes a deep dive into its features, architecture, and how it leverages Hedera to modernize asset management.

In a groundbreaking move, Hedera has donated its entire codebase—including all services, SDKs, and development tools—to the Linux Foundation Decentralized Trust (LFDT) under the Hiero project. In this blog, we explore the strategic and technical implications of this transition, the benefits of open governance, and how Hiero’s collaborative framework sets a new standard for decentralized open-source development.

Hedera is designed for network stability, fair access, and efficient transaction processing. One key mechanism enabling this is throttling, which regulates the rate of operations to prevent overload and ensure seamless performance. In this blog, we explore Hedera’s throttles, their purpose, and how they’re configured using the `throttles.json` file.

Managing transaction costs on Hedera can be challenging, especially for JSON-RPC Relay operators handling unpredictable user activity. To solve this, we’ve introduced the Tiered HBAR Rate Limiter—a powerful tool that enables operators to categorize users into different spending tiers, ensuring predictable and sustainable cost management.

This month, we’re launching the Hedera Developer Playground, a browser-based tool for writing, executing, and sharing code snippets on the Hedera testnet. Jake has two new video tutorials covering ERC-20 token deployment and using Chainlink's data feeds. Plus, don’t miss HederaCon, our very own conference packed with exciting insights!

For Hedera, Davos 2025 was a watershed moment. We weren't just present at the table, we were actively shaping the dialogue around key themes that are core to our mission, showcasing our commitment to global collaboration through our sponsorship of USA House, collaborating closely with The Hashgraph Association; to drive real-world impact, and engaging with key policymakers through our government affairs and policy team led by Nilmini Rubin.

The Hedera Developer Playground is a fantastic platform for developers of different backgrounds to explore and build on the Hedera testnet. This browser-based tool enables developers to write, execute, and share code snippets and flows directly in their web browser.
