Build your first dApp
Transfer HBAR between accounts, initialize a Hedera client, securely sign and submit a transfer transaction, and verify the transaction was successful using the Hedera Mirror Node.
Create a fungible Hedera Token Service (HTS) token. Configure essential token properties, set up necessary keys and permissions, and submit your transaction to the Hedera network.
Create a new consensus topic and publish your first message using Hedera Consensus Service (HCS). HCS enables logging, ordering, and timestamping messages or transactions as-a-service.
Deploy an ERC-20 contract using the Hedera Contract Builder. This tool helps you deploy smart contracts on the Hedera testnet in seconds.
