Hedera has an audacious but simple vision: to build a trusted, secure, and empowered digital future for all.
Projects that are prioritized but not yet planned for development.
Continued enhancement of the development experience. Faster and more lightweight, allows us to support more EVM tooling and bring over more developers to the network.
Projects that are on the near-term roadmap.
Enhancing the Hedera Smart Contract Service (HSCS) by enabling metadata management for both fungible and non-fungible tokens by smart contract (HIP-1028).
Projects actively being developed.
Execute batch transactions such that a series of transactions (HAPI calls) depending on each other can be rolled into one transaction (HIP-551).
Updates the rules for charging fees for EthereumTransactions, so that the payer of an EthereumTransaction will only incur a fee if the transaction fails due diligence checks (HIP-1084).
Improvements to the operation of Hedera consensus nodes that improve network uptime and resilience.
Projects that have been completed and deployed.
Adding a fixed fee mechanism to the Hedera Consensus Service for topic messages, similar to the custom fee structures in the Hedera Token Service (HIP-991).
Enable smart contracts to designate another account to the autoRenew and treasury roles on a token during creation (HIP-756).
Enable smart contracts to interact with and support scheduled transactions via the Hedera Schedule Service (HSS) (HIP-755).
Provide authorization options within smart contracts for non-ECDSA type accounts on Hedera (HIP-632).
Enhancements to streamline the process for token airdrop and users associating tokens with their accounts to support the retail user and business user experience (HIP-904).
Introducing two new system contract functions in the Hedera Smart Contract Service logic that would expose the already defined in HIP-18 Hedera Token Service logic (HIP-1010).
Enhancing Supply Key Functionality for NFT Updates in Treasury Account (HIP-850).
Allowing Smart Contract developers to grant allowance and approval for hbars without using HAPI hinders developers’ workflow (HIP-906).
Allow Hedera Smart Contracts to transfer, mint, burn, associate, and dissociate tokens programmatically (HIP-206).
Support upcoming Ethereum Cancun hard fork and bringing feature parity Hedera EVM.
Modularize Hedera services to enable easier development troubleshooting, deployment, and enhancements.
Ability to dynamically update metadata of non-fungible and fungible tokens to support a broad range of use cases, including gaming and customer loyalty (HIP-657), (HIP-646), (HIP-765).
Open source implementation of The Graph for the Hedera network, hosted by Hashgraph.
Query the state of smart contracts on Hedera using a mirror node. Initial support includes eth_Call and eth_getGasEstimate (HIP 584).
Ongoing improvements to JSON-RPC to improve scalability and performance.
Modifications to the Hedera developer portal to improve the experience of obtaining and managing testnet accounts and keys.
Treat Hedera Token Service tokens in an equivalent manner to ERC-20 and ERC-721 tokens by creating a proxy redirect facade contract (HIP 719).
Improving the performance of local node to improve application development, testing, and deployment.
Allow Hedera mirror nodes to display verified source code for deployed smart contracts, enabling safer developer and retail experiences.
Improvements to open-source mirror node tooling to enable smart contract developers to better track, diagnose, and improve deployed smart contracts.
Development to enable first-class support for Hedera using popular EVM tools like Hardhat and Foundry.
