How Hedera Ensures Quality in Releases of the Hiero Consensus Node

Hedera’s structured release process and multi-layered testing approach ensure that each code change is thoroughly vetted. New features to the Hiero Consensus Node codebase must pass through successive stages of validation before they are considered “production-ready.”

Introducing the Hedera Contract Builder

The Hedera Contract Builder is a powerful new tool for developers that makes it easier than ever to work with smart contracts on Hedera. It’s a tool for editing, compiling, deploying, verifying, and calling smart contracts on Hedera in seconds, all from your web-browser.

Hedera Release Cycle Overview

Learn how the Hiero consensus node codebase evolves over time, the purpose of each Hedera environment, and what Hedera’s move to open-source development (via Project Hiero) means for the release process.

Leveraging Hedera’s Architecture: Sirio’s Oracle-Free Price Feed Approach

By leveraging Hedera’s architecture, Sirio integrates TWAP (Time-Weighted Average Price) calculations and HBAR/USD conversions, ensuring secure, resilient price feeds. This oracle-free method not only enabled seamless development but now enhances the protocol’s security as a backup to traditional oracles.

Hedera Enhances Network Management With the Dynamic Address Book

The Dynamic Address Book on Hedera, introduced in HIP-869, marks a significant step toward decentralization by empowering node operators to manage their entries directly through secure, verifiable transactions. Explore how this update revolutionizes Address Book management and supports a decentralized ecosystem.

Pricing Smart Contracts

Hedera charges fees based on the burden a particular smart contract transaction or query places on the nodes of the network. Although the concept originated from Ethereum, there are subtle yet key differences on Hedera.
