It highlights the status of Hiero Improvement Proposals, what’s coming next, and the long-term vision shaping the platform’s evolution. in progress hedera roadmap completed Decentralization Effective network decentralization enhances security, reduces single points of failure, and promotes collusion resistance – fostering trust, transparency, and resilience. Solo Solo is Hedera’s latest tooling for running, testing, and managing networks locally and in controlled environments. It enables developers and operators to spin up custom networks, automate node configuration, validate upgrades, and test governance and protocol changes with minimal overhead. Solo documentation EVM Compatibility Providing the tools necessary and enabling developers to deploy smart contracts on and interact with the Hedera network using familiar frameworks and standards, further driving web3 ecosystem cohesion and interoperability. Support for Ethereum Pectra Release Defines Hedera’s support for applicable Ethereum Pectra upgrades to maintain EVM compatibility. This work evaluates each Pectra EIP individually, adopting those relevant to Hedera’s Smart Contract Service—such as new cryptographic capabilities and updated gas semantics. HIP-1341 documentation JSON-RPC Relay The Hiero JSON-RPC Relay is an open-source service implementing Ethereum’s JSON-RPC standard on Hedera. It lets developers use familiar EVM tools – MetaMask, Hardhat, Foundry, ethers.js – by wrapping transactions into Hedera API calls for consensus nodes and routing queries to mirror nodes, enabling seamless smart contract deployment and interaction. JSON-RPC Relay documentation Release notes Network Services Advanced token functionality and standards support diverse digital asset creation and management, enabling innovative use cases across industries. Sponsored fees A Delegated Transaction Fee Payment Mechanism, an extension of Hedera’s existing Approval and Allowance API that creates a new allowance type enabling one account to sponsor/pay the transaction fees of another account, without requiring co-signing for every transaction. HIP-1068 Documentation Mirror node Mirror Nodes provide read-only access to Hedera’s full transaction history, mirroring data from consensus nodes into a queryable database. They serve REST and gRPC APIs for accounts, balances, tokens, and contract events – offloading reads from the main network to enable scalable, cost-effective analytics, explorers, and dApp queries. Mirror node documentation Release notes Hiero Improvement Proposals (HIPs) Community-driven protocol improvements strengthen network governance, encourage collaborative innovation, and ensure development aligns with ecosystem needs. Hiero hooks Hooks embed business rules directly in native services without requiring full smart contracts or additional HIPs. This reduces overhead compared to contract calls, maintains Hedera’s API performance, and enables quick logic updates while preserving compliance and security, accelerating ecosystem innovation. HIP-1195 documentation Network Architecture Ongoing technical improvements to enhance network capabilities, throughput, and efficiency – pushing boundaries while maintaining enterprise-grade reliability. TSS signatures Instead of requiring individual signatures from every node, TSS signatures allow a single, aggregated signature to represent the consensus state of the network. This streamlines the process, reduces overhead, and ensures faster, more efficient verification. Block Nodes (2/3) - state proofs State proofs empower decentralized applications (dApps) and enterprises with provable integrity and auditability of blockchain-based activities. Foundational for future advancements like HashSphere and sharding. HIP-1081: Block Node documentation Block Nodes (3/3) - reconnect & state snapshots Offloads critical services from consensus nodes to block nodes, freeing up server resources for consensus operations, enhancing the scalability of the network by allowing consensus nodes to focus on their core functions. Improves performance, efficiency, and capacity. HIP-1081: Block Node documentation Block Streams New output stream that merges Hedera’s existing event, record, and sidecar streams into a single stream of verifiable data – enabling richer insights, improved efficiency, and streamlined integrations. HIP-1056: Block Streams documentation completed roadmap items in progress 0.74 Release Notes HIP-1137 Enhancements Completes the on-chain registered-node registry by enabling Block Node operators to publish multiple API endpoints per node through AddressBookService transactions.
