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.
Anything you can do, you can do on Hedera: Introducing the JSON-RPC Relay
The JSON-RPC Relay makes it easy for existing libraries, development tools, and wallets to work effortlessly on Hedera. Examples include support for wallets, such as Metamask, libraries, such as ethers.js and web3.js, and developer tools, such as Truffle and Hardhat.
Guardian v2.0: The next generation of ESG marketplaces built on Hedera
For Earth Day 2022, Envision Blockchain is proud to announce the release of the 2.0 version of the Guardian. Guardian v2.0 delivers new features to expand on what was built and grow the Hedera Guardian ecosystem.
Multi-Game Economies
Gamers spend on average 14.8 hours per week gaming, with many going even further beyond that—to the point of it becoming a second job. What if this hobby could become profitable for the average gamer? Previous articles covered the subjects of HCS-based game records and its possible use cases. This third article synthesizes these concepts into a new subject: multi-game economies.
HashConnect Part 1 – Secure Signing for dApps Built on Hedera
HashConnect is an open source library that is developed by the HashPack team. This library enables decentralized applications (dApps) to connect to a user’s wallet and send transactions for them to sign and submit to the Hedera network nodes.
Meet Venin, a concise yet powerful SDK alternative for JS Devs
To build dApps, one has the raw power of the official SDK at their disposal; but what if that’s sometimes too much? What if there was a more human-centric way of writing code similar to other mature, well-known tools in this space of Smart Contract development? Tools such as the likes of ethers, hardhat or ganache, to name but a few? Well now you can! Succinct, bold and expressive; programming on Hedera has never been this easy!
Smart contract rent is coming to Hedera
All Hedera entities will require renewal fees. Solidity smart contracts are the first. Get to know the lifecycle of entities and your options to design self-sustaining Solidity smart contracts.
Use Cases for HCS-Based Records in Play-to-Earn/NFT Gaming
“Play-to-Earn” gaming has grown to a $3 Billion dollar market in less than a year, and investors are taking notice. The era of play-to-earn gaming has begun, presenting an exciting new frontier for game development – as well as several potential pitfalls. All the risks associated with decentralized finance are also present in play-to-earn, namely smart contract exploits. But the Hedera Consensus Service (HCS) offers a solution to these inherent problems.
Unblocking and unloading: The speed secrets behind Hedera Smart Contracts 2.0
The Smart Contracts 2.0 service utilizes the Hyperledger Besu EVM. As part of the preparation a number of performance optimizations were contributed by Hedera to the Hyperleger codebase. Hedera’s implementation is completely open-source but developers of the service have received questions around the specific optimizations implemented and we wanted to summarize what’s been improved.
How to Get Event Information from Hedera Smart Contracts
Events in Solidity provide a way to log things and actions that take place in your smart contracts. In this article, you will learn how to get human-readable event information from contract logs using transaction records and mirror nodes.
