There’s now one more reason to build your next great decentralized application on Hedera – we’re expanding our community testing program with further rewards for developers. Earn up to 100,000 ℏ by launching an app on Hedera.

A deepfake is a growing problem, a fraudulent copy of an authentic video or image, manipulated to create an erroneous interpretation of the events. A distributed ledger can play a role in establishing the provenance of a video and therefore aid in combating deepfakes.

Over the weekend we paused Phase II of the Community Testing Program.The reason was that we saw a small handful of users gaming the rewards system of the Hedera Portal website that has since been resolved; the ledger itself was not affected.

In our new Youtube series Dapp Talk we’re sitting down with our favorite projects to explore the innovation they're driving. In the first episode, we are joined by Alto.io to talk about the future of gaming with smart contracts and distributed ledger technology.

We’re excited to announce that Hedera’s Community Testing Program has returned for its second phase, and is now live. Phase II will allow for up to 100,000 testing participants, with over ℏ200 million reserved for phase II (and beyond) testing program activities.

Dallas, TX — May 9, 2019 — Hedera Hashgraph, an enterprise-grade public ledger designed to have highly diversified governance and the most distributed consensus at scale, has announced that Phase II of the Community Testing Program for the Hedera Platform will launch on May 13th, 2019.

San Francisco, CA and Dallas, TX — May 9, 2019 — Today, Hedera Hashgraph and Chainlink announced they will collaborate to integrate Chainlink’s decentralized oracle network with Hedera’s enterprise-grade distributed public ledger.

If smart contracts are to model real-world business processes and interactions, they must be connected to that world. Oracles — whether software, hardware, or human — enable that connection. Hedera provides a number of features that uniquely enables smart contract oracles.

To help front end developers quickly adopt distributed ledger technology, Certara, the leading drug development consultancy, follows the same architecture design principles they have successfully used: dockerized microservices.
