When developing smart contracts on Hedera, choosing the right JSON RPC relay setup significantly impacts your workflow, testing speed, and scalability. Should you use a Hedera Local Node for rapid isolated tests, run your own relay for maximum flexibility, or opt for a managed third-party provider to simplify infrastructure management? Each approach has unique strengths suited to different project stages and requirements—let’s explore how you can strategically select the best JSON RPC relay for your application.
The Hiero SDK Collaboration Hub is your entry point to contributing with clarity, providing structured proposals, templates, guides, and transparent decision-making. Whether you're a new contributor or seasoned maintainer, the Hub simplifies collaboration and helps shape the future of Hiero SDKs.
Introducing Hedera AI Studio: an open-source modular toolkit that simplifies the creation and deployment of verifiable AI agents on the Hedera network. By offering a suite of intuitive tools, developers and enterprises can build intelligent, transparent, and automated AI workflows with ease.
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.
The Hedera ecosystem is accelerating. Across the network, contributors are creating the conditions for real-world adoption, decentralized innovation, and sustainable growth that spans industries and geographies. This is just the beginning. With the strength of an unmatched community, fresh leadership perspectives, and a clear path forward, the Hedera network is well-positioned to accelerate its role as the trust layer of the digital economy. The future is not only being imagined—it’s being built. And it’s being built on Hedera.
This month, Hedera has adopted Chainlink's cross-chain interoperability standard (CCIP). Additionally, the latest technical community call introduced new feedback channels and provided insights into the HCS-10 architecture. For developers, a new tutorial guides you through advanced ERC-721 token management, and Jay also demonstrates how to monetize your AI agents using revenue-generating topic IDs on Hedera.
In this article, we’ll explore tokenized buildings in detail, including the factory contract that ties everything together. By the end, you’ll understand that a building isn’t one NFT at all; you will learn that it’s a pocket‑sized application that mints its own equity, keeps a tight cap‑table, and lets investors approve new air‑conditioning through a smartphone, as well as how the BuildingFactory stitches them together in one atomic deployment.
Learn what gRPC-Web proxies are, why they are used in the Hiero JS SDK, and the role they play in enabling browser-based Hedera applications.
