Hedera October Update: Batch Transactions and New Developer Tools

Hedera launches atomic Batch Transactions, AI-driven Agent Kit, new wallet integrations, and Hashport's user-friendly HBAR Faucet alongside key network improvement proposals.

  • Hedera introduced Batch Transactions for atomic multi-action execution and enhancements like Dynamic Node Accounts and Blockstreams.
  • The Hedera Agent Kit enables AI-driven workflows connected to network services such as HCS and HTS.
  • Wallet integration options include Reown AppKit for EVM compatibility and Hedera Wallet Connect for native features.
  • Hashport launched an HBAR Faucet providing new users $0.25 in HBAR and introduced Hashpass for account verification.
  • Several Hedera Improvement Proposals (HIPs) aim to improve node account ID management, simplify transaction record formats, and establish a clear fee model.

The Hedera network released significant developer updates in October 2025, including Batch Transactions (HIP-551), which allow multiple actions to be combined into a single atomic transaction. During the Technical Community Call, updates such as Dynamic Node Accounts (HIP-1299) and Blockstreams (HIP-1056) were discussed. These features aim to enable nodes to update account IDs securely and provide faster, verifiable network data streams.

The open-source Hedera code is now fully vendor-neutral under the Linux Foundation. The network enhancements include a unified data stream for improved efficiency and reliability. A live stream hosted by developer Jake showed how to build AI agents using ERC-8004 for identity and trust management and x402 for automated micropayments within machine economies.

Developers were also introduced to resources like a detailed guide on the Hedera Agent Kit, which supports AI-driven workflows integrating Hedera Consensus Service (HCS), Hedera Token Service (HTS), and account management. Another guide compares wallet connection options between Reown AppKit, suitable for Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM) style decentralized applications, and Hedera Wallet Connect, which unlocks native capabilities like HTS token minting and messaging.

Community contributions included the beta launch of the HBAR Faucet from Hashport, which provides new users with $0.25 in HBAR to cover transaction fees and ease onboarding. Hashport also introduced Hashpass, an account verification system that scores accounts based on age, transaction activity, and asset holdings to improve security and prevent bot activity.

The HIP-1299 modifies node account ID management to allow nodes to update or remove IDs securely. It prevents account ID reuse across nodes and automatically removes nodes with low balances for network stability. HIP-1127 standardizes transaction record formatting using the SignedTransaction format to reduce data bloat and improve processing, without affecting existing APIs.

Additionally, HIP-1261 proposes a simplified fee structure. Fees will have a base component plus extras for data size, signatures, and gas, distributed among node, network, and service. The fee schedule is deterministic and expressed in USD tinycents for clarity and consistency across tools.

Developers and interested parties can find upcoming events related to Hedera on the official events calendar.
