How to Deploy Smart Contracts on Hedera – Part 2: A Contract with Hedera Token Service Integration

Jan 26, 2022Ed Marquez

In Part 1, you learned how to write a getter-setter smart contract in Solidity and deploy it on the Hedera network. Now let’s write and deploy a Solidity smart contract that integrates with the Hedera Token Service (HTS). Whether you’re new to smart contract development or migrating from another smart contract platform, use Hedera to develop and deploy fast, low-cost, and carbon-negative smart contracts.

Smart contracts 2.0 now on the Hedera testnet

Jan 20, 2022Gehrig Kunz

Smart contracts play a critical role in building the trust layer of the internet. Used to manage autonomous logic that doesn’t rely on a centralized intermediary, server, or custom governance model, smart contracts can power core infrastructure like decentralized finance. While the Hedera Smart Contract Service is EVM compatible and runs Solidity, with the availability of Smart Contracts 2.0 on the Hedera testnet it now does so with a few added bonuses as only Hedera and the soon to be open-sourced hashgraph can.
