Take a look at some of the highlights from Hedera's presence at TOKEN2049 this year, covering the ecosystem partners who joined us at the booth to showcase their projects on the network as well as the many side events we sponsored and attended.

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.

HIP-904: Frictionless Airdrops empowers token creators, developers, and projects by allowing them to distribute tokens more efficiently to a wider audience without the need for pre-existing token associations - greatly enhancing token distribution strategies and enabling seamless airdrop functionality without compromising user sovereignty.

The Hello Future Hackathon 2024 has come to an exciting close! With over $350,000 USD in prizes for winning teams, participants competed across several tracks, including AI, DeFi, RWA Tokenization, Hashgraph Explorers (Beginner), and Hashgraph Trailblazers (Advanced).

September developer highlights, including the launch of the Hedera Asset Tokenization Studio and the announcement of the Hello Future Hackathon winners. Get hands-on with new code snippets, featured projects, and developer resources to build on Hedera.

Due to improvements in the Mirror node infrastructure to support scalability, Hashscan users will only be able to view or download transaction and account history for 60 days. Solutions are underway to restore accessibility to the full-time range of history. Alternatively, the full history can still be accessed through the REST APIs or through partner mirror node services.

Introducing Hedera Asset Tokenization Studio: an open-source toolkit for tokenizing regulatory-compliant real-world assets on the Hedera network. Institutions and developers can now benefit from a full suite of turnkey features, including bond coupons, stock dividends, whitelisting, and compliance with jurisdiction-specific regulations, ensuring that all asset details are securely managed entirely on-chain.

Today, I’m proud to share a pivotal moment in our journey that highlights this commitment: Hedera has become a founding Premier Member of the newly launched LF Decentralized Trust, the new Linux Foundation home for a growing ecosystem of blockchain, ledger, identity, interoperability, cryptographic, and related technologies, including all of the Hyperledger Foundation’s projects and communities.

HIP-850 - to be implemented on the network as the mainnet upgrades to v0.53 soon - proposes a significant enhancement to the Hedera ecosystem by granting Supply Keys the ability to update NFT metadata while the NFTs reside in the treasury account (the specified account that receives tokens created as the result of a Token Mint operation).
