- Hedera released updates to AI Studio, simplifying AI agent development.
- Registration is open for the Hello Future: Ascension Hackathon starting November 3rd.
- The September Technical Community Call covered Blockstreams, Blocknodes, threshold signature schemes, AI Studio, and upcoming hackathons.
- Developers are advised to update SDKs for the upcoming v0.68 release with Dynamic Address Book changes affecting node account IDs.
- Several new Hedera Improvement Proposals (HIPs) were introduced, addressing fees, scheduled contract calls, signature schemes, and on-chain token metadata management.
Hedera announced a series of updates for developers in its September highlights. These include major improvements to its AI Studio platform, registration for its upcoming Hello Future: Ascension Hackathon beginning November 3rd, and updates from the September Technical Community Call.
The Technical Community Call detailed how Blockstreams, Blocknodes, and Threshold Signature Schemes (TSS) operate within the network and benefit it. The call also introduced AI Studio for building AI agents and applications on Hedera. Additionally, it provided information about upcoming hackathon activities for developers.
Developers should note the planned v0.68 release in December, which will implement the Dynamic Address Book (HIP-1299). This change will allow node account IDs, identifiers for fees and signing, to update over time while the static node IDs remain unchanged. To ensure transaction success, developers need to upgrade to the latest SDKs and avoid hardcoding node account IDs since outdated IDs will cause failures. Most recent SDKs support automatic address book updates to maintain compatibility.
In the developer resources, the seventh part of the “REITs in Web3” series covers Slices, a programmable index fund that combines multiple yield-producing real estate tokens into one index token. This design offers investors diversified exposure with automatic rebalancing and compounding, creating a self-managing real estate investment without human fund managers.
The “Hashgraph Hustlers” demonstrated how users can build on Hedera without coding, using the n8n workflow automation tool and the new Hedera n8n plugin. They explained how anyone can create blockchain-based workflows, integrate AI agents with Hedera services, and automate processes in DeFi and Web3.
One year after contributing its codebase to the Linux Foundation for Decentralized Trust (LFDT), the Hiero project has matured into a community-led open-source project. It has now officially graduated, achieving LFDT’s highest recognition for governance, adoption, and sustainability.
Several Hedera Improvement Proposals (HIPs) were shared. HIP-1261 introduces a predictable fee model dividing transaction fees into base and variable components, expressed in USD tinycents, with a deterministic JSON schedule for transparency. HIP-1215 enables smart contracts to schedule future on-chain actions via the Hedera Schedule Service, allowing automated tasks like DeFi rebalances or token vesting. HIP-1200 proposes replacing the current RSA-based block signing with hinTS, a threshold signature scheme that offers smaller, faster, and Ethereum-compatible signatures. HIP-1028 extends token metadata management to smart contracts, enabling creation and updates of metadata directly on-chain for fungible and non-fungible tokens.
