We have officially concluded Hedera DevDay. Following the final remarks by @richardbair and @ed__marquez, we want to congratulate the winners of the scavenger hunt. Thank you to everyone who joined us, both at the venue and virtually. The ecosystem is showing genuine momentum as builders actively move toward production. Hello future!
We are witnessing the transformation of confidential execution into an essential piece of core infrastructure. An engaging workshop conducted by @Nadine_Codes and @Keith_Kowal provided a deep dive into privacy-preserving execution and zero-knowledge proofs. Participants were treated to practical insights through interactive demos and hands-on exploration.
The evolution of cross-chain technology is truly taking shape 🌐 @michaelgarber87 teamed up with @jaycoolh to explore the capabilities of @LayerZero_Core. They provided support to builders in generating an omnichain token (OFT) that can transfer between the Base and Hedera ecosystems.
@ejazmerchant led an excellent workshop discussing the Hedera Consensus Service, Merkle proofs, and verification workflows. One key takeaway is that anchoring records on-chain can become costly in a hurry unless you utilize smart batching.
Workshop success: Smart contracts with autonomous execution ⏱️
@mr_pachhai and Michael Bennett demonstrated how Hedera empowers contracts to natively schedule and conduct future calls. By executing directly on-network, this solution removes the necessity for off-chain cron jobs or bots.
Activity is currently high across the DevDay stations. Our scheduled programming is set to continue at 1:45pm MST. Be sure to tune in to the livestream at http://hedera.com/devday2026-live
Join Dr. @leemonbaird and @sinharo for a fireside chat 🔥. Leemon and Rohit explore the essentials of creating a public network that is swift, secure, and designed to endure. They emphasize that scalability lacks value unless it rests on a foundation of verifiable trust and strong cryptographic guarantees.
We gained valuable insights into the 2026 enhancements planned for Hedera during a significant session featuring Mark Blackman alongside @nconduah. The dialogue centered on critical innovations such as Block Nodes, Block Streams, and Block Proofs utilizing Threshold Signature Schemes. These developments offer far more than just increased velocity. They represent a shift toward greater decentralization and improved verifiability. Additionally, these upgrades ensure that developers and Mirror Node operators will have access to a wealth of comprehensive network data.
Developers should not be forced to select between EVM familiarity and high performance. Hiero EVM solves this by combining Ethereum compatibility with hashgraph superpowers. During an excellent session, @ferparishuertas and @anuragsaksena demonstrated the deployment of Solidity smart contracts requiring minimal-to-zero changes, while also showcasing the benefits of native Hedera services in the EVM.
@richardbair recently provided a walkthrough of the future trajectory for the Hedera network as it moves toward Hedera 2026. The updated roadmap prioritizes fundamental improvements rather than simply adding more features. The primary objectives are to deliver increased reliability, superior tooling, and faster paths to production.
We are excited to announce that Hedera DevDay is currently underway. This promises to be a major event for builders, complete with network upgrades and workshops, and @ed__marquez has officially launched the session. Please tune in to YouTube to view the live broadcast at http://hedera.com/devday2026-live. Let’s build.
The proceedings for Hedera DevDay are set to commence in Denver at 10am MST. A diverse group of ecosystem leaders, builders, and innovators are assembling for a comprehensive day of collaboration, focusing on bold concepts and the future direction of Hedera and the surrounding industry. We are eager to connect with everyone attending at the venue. For those unable to participate in person, the live broadcast is available on YouTube:
Preparations are complete. Join the Opening Ceremony to officially begin the Hedera Hello Future Apex Hackathon 2026. Participants will receive a friendly reception along with valuable development insights and specialized guidance. This event is backed by Hiero, Neuron World, Bonzo, Hashgraph Online, and AWS.

You will have the opportunity to engage with community partners including @zoniqxinc, @bonzo_finance, @HashgraphOnline, and @lfdecentralized. Additionally, @mywebacy, @KabilaApp, and @dovuofficial will be present to demonstrate live applications in areas such as identity, tokenization, finance, and ESG. Please review the schedule below for specific details.
The Hedera Council is delighted to welcome global logistics powerhouse @FedEx as its newest member. FedEx will apply its profound operational expertise to enhance trusted digital infrastructure for shipments worldwide. This effort is designed to securely authenticate shared data between organizations and across borders, effectively lowering barriers in international commerce. Supply chains of the future are happening on Hedera. 🔗
We are thrilled to announce that Hedera is contributing a total of $25K in bounty rewards to the @EthereumDenver Hackathon! The anticipation to see the innovative solutions you construct is high.
You can examine the complete details for each specific bounty by following this link: https://t.co/0GqA1hki1B
Additionally, we encourage you to visit booth 402D. This is your opportunity to connect directly with the teams representing the Hedera ecosystem, including @lfdecentralized, @KabilaApp, @bonzo_finance, @dovuofficial, @zoniqxinc, @HashgraphOnline, and @mywebacy.
The team at @bcarboninc has officially revealed that their carbon registry is migrating to Hedera. This transition involves moving more than 2 million issued carbon credits, a shift that facilitates scalable, standards-based infrastructure. Furthermore, the move ensures serialized asset traceability and establishes enhanced digital audit trails. We would like to extend our congratulations to the BCarbon group for reaching this significant milestone within the digital carbon markets sector.
The next wave of AI agents won’t just think and respond - they’ll shop, subscribe, and pay.
With x402, agentic AI has the tools it needs to realize the full potential of the connected economy, and web3 payment rails like Hedera will provide the decentralized infrastructure to facilitate it.
Get ready for HederaCon 2026 coming to Miami Beach on May 4, 2026. The timing is ideal, slotting in right between the @F1 Miami Grand Prix and @Consensus2026. We encourage industry policymakers, enterprises, and builders to assemble for a significant day centered on collaboration, innovation, and adoption in the real world. The speaker lineup is officially live, so do not delay. Register today via the link below:
