Leveraging Ethereum Developer Tools On Hedera

The JSON-RPC Relay provides excellent usability for developers with existing workflows dependent on Ethereum developer tools like Truffle, Web3js, Ethers, and Hardhat to seamlessly build on Hedera. In addition, it makes it easy to integrate with Metamask.

The CREATE2 Opcode on Hedera: An Introduction

The Hedera network provides a powerful decentralized platform, supporting native tokenization, robust smart contracts, and more. HIP-329 introduced the ability to use the CREATE2 opcode on the Hedera network. The power of CREATE2 comes from the deterministic nature of the deployment, meaning the address is easy to compute even before a smart contract gets deployed to the address. Pairing the predictable low fees and scalability of Hedera with the power of the CREATE2 opcode enables users to build incredible user experiences. Read this article for an introduction to the CREATE2 opcode.

Staking on Hedera for Developers – Back to the Basics

In this tutorial, you will learn how to configure staking options for Hedera accounts and contracts programmatically. Perhaps you need to integrate these staking capabilities with wallets, decentralized applications, marketplaces, or other cool things you may be building on Hedera.

How to Send and Receive HBAR Using Smart Contracts – Part 1: Using the SDK

Smart contracts on Hedera can hold and exchange value in the form of HBAR, Hedera Token Service (HTS) tokens, and even ERC tokens. This is fundamental for building decentralized applications that rely on contracts in areas like DeFi, ESG, NFT marketplaces, DAOs, and more. In this tutorial, you will learn how to send and receive HBAR to and from Hedera contracts. Part 1 focuses on using the Hedera SDKs.

Creating Soulbound Token Ecosystems on Hedera

There is a new buzzword in Web3 Identity – “Soulbound Tokens” – a very expressive name for non-transferable non-fungible tokens (NFTs) intended to represent an aspect of someone’s identity, skills, or qualifications. In this posting, we consider what an early implementation of Soulbound Tokens might look like, and how they can be easily implemented on the Hedera network, leveraging the powerful capabilities of the Hedera Token Service (HTS).

How to Set Up Your Own Hedera Local Network Using Docker

The Hedera Local Node is available for developers to start testing and debugging their applications. This article will focus on setting up your local network, starting it, and ensuring that it is operating correctly by submitting transactions and then querying your local mirror node.

Rolling Smart Contract Hedera API Fees into Gas Fees

Core contributors are now focused on an important pricing update for the Hedera Smart Contract service, recently approved by the Coin Committee of the Hedera Governing Council. This update rolls Smart Contract Hedera API (HAPI) fees into gas fees and removes the cover charge for HAPI fees when making a ContractCall transaction.
