Hedera Release Cadence Overview

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.

Hedera Highlights July 2025

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.

Hedera Developer Highlights July 2025

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.

Namespace Transition Announcement: Hedera Projects Moving to Hiero

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.

Governance & Jurisdiction in Tokenized Real Estate

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.

Crypto Week: An Inflection Point for the U.S.

We are in “Crypto Week”, a defining moment for U.S. digital asset policy. The House of Representatives prepares to take up the GENIUS Act to regulate stablecoins and the CLARITY Act to provide a market structure for digital assets. The bills mark a clear shift in how the U.S. approaches innovation, governance, and leadership in digital assets.

Hedera: Leading the Charge in Agentic AI

It should be no surprise that Hedera is positioned for leadership in AI, especially agentic AI as one of the co-founders of Hedera, Dr. Leemon Baird, received his PhD in 1999 from Carnegie-Mellon University. Dr. Baird’s PhD in Computer Science is entitled, “Reinforcement Learning Through Gradient Descent”.
