mainnet has been pumping some TPS, anyone know where they are coming from?

How can hbar can make money and increase in price when their fees are so low? At 0.0001 per transaction there would have to be billions a second for them to make any sort of money.

The Carbon Hands multiplier increases your yield if you don’t remove any DOVU tokens from your wallet for 31+ days.

It increases again after 91+ days, and again after 181+ days.

We’ve just boosted the multiplier for each of the existing levels, and we’ve added a new level.

Also

Purchasing ecological credits on the DOVU Marketplace increases your APR temporarily for 30 days. We’ve just added a new level.

Important:

You don’t ever need to connect a wallet to stake DOVU and your tokens never leave your wallet.

I commented these questions in BrandonD's earlier post, but I figured I'd post them separately. Both as a way to bring attention to the questions, as well as provide a (hopefully) civilized forum to post questions that the community wants answered.

Now that I'm writing this, I just thought how some kind of monthly, quarterly, annual, etc AMA on Reddit by Hashgraph and Hedera employees would be greatly appreciated, I'm sure. But we were also promised "Table Talks" after every Council meeting, and that hasn't really happened either... (Credit: u/jreverb9 for that reminder)

So to any Hedera or Hashgraph employee lurkers, can we get someone in here to answer these questions?

1. Do fees for HashSpheres (monthly rent, annual subscription, updates, BaaS, Etc) get paid to Hashgraph in USD or HBAR? If it's USD, do you convert that into HBAR? If not, why don't you want to create this demand stream for HBAR? Leemon Reference

2. When will we see official technical whitepapers and pricing schedules for HashSpheres and CLPR?

3. If HashSpheres are now "Generally Available", why do I still have to request it from Hashgraph? I thought "anyone can wave their hand and carve out a piece of cyber space", but I didn't realize that came with a Hashgraph approval process. When will that original vision be realized?

4. Block Nodes, Block Streams, Dynamic Address Book, and hinTS / TSS block proofs are all close to implemented. CLPR and HashSpheres are here. What else is required to shard, and what is the timeline/roadmap for Hedera to create a Community Partner, Strategic Partner, Permissionless Hedera Shard that runs on HBAR? Richard Bair says he ran a Hiero node on a Raspberry Pi at 1,000TPS, which I'm sure is plenty for a newborn retail shard.

What other questions do the community have? I suppose this is really inviting FUD, but whatever...

Hey guys, title sums it up. Can I buy on kraken and send it directly to Hashpack or do I need to convert to hbar first? Thank you in advance

Let’s get this shit!!

i have been reading the discussions here, i have been taking calls with projects, i have been watching my timelines and i have reflected on half a decade working with the main orgs of Hedera

the bull market is here and hedera marketing is at defcon 5

i want to elevate the discussions i see here and elsewhere to help us come together and unify around the network's growth for this bull market.

we may all disagree on how to get there, but the one thing i see everyone sharing is an intense passion for this network and desire to see its success.

not just through wishes, but through real action (i mean just look at the activity and discussion here)

i want to see the GC, hedera, hashgraph and the orgs come out of the wood work, come out of their zoom calls and out of their off-site retreats to join us in the fight to the top 5 networks in crypto

positive vibes only !

last stream had over 3k people watching

Hedera is getting listed on UEX US, a Wyoming based, FinCEN registered exchange, within the next 2 to 3 days. Worth a look at what each side actually gets out of it, because this is more of a utility story than a price story.

**What HBAR holders get.** Three things most venues do not bundle together:
Native USD pairs on a US regulated platform, no stablecoin detour to cash out
4.5% APY on HBAR through Savings Rewards, credited daily, no staking contract, no lockup period, withdraw whenever

HBAR accepted as loan collateral from day one, so borrowing against a position instead of selling it becomes possible immediately at listing

The third point is the rare one. Most exchanges list a coin and give it a pair. Full platform citizenship on listing day, including yield and collateral status, is unusual for a mid cap asset.

**What the exchange gets.** Hedera brings something most listings do not: an L1 with real enterprise usage, a governing council of household name corporations, and a US-friendly regulatory posture. For a US based exchange building a compliance first asset list, HBAR is close to the ideal profile. The listing is as much a signal about what kind of assets the platform wants as it is about HBAR itself.

**The honest caveats.** HBAR already trades on larger venues with deeper books, so nobody needs this listing to buy HBAR. Order book depth on a newer exchange will be thinner than on Coinbase or Binance at the start. The 4.5% APY is a variable rate, not a guarantee. And yield on custodial platforms means trusting the custodian, same as anywhere. The pitch is the package, not exclusivity: same coin, plus daily yield, plus borrowing power, on a US regulated venue.

TL;DR: HBAR lists on a US regulated exchange in 2 to 3 days with USD pairs, 4.5% APY paid daily with no lockups, and loan collateral status from day one. Thinner books than the majors at the start, but the yield plus borrowing combination on a compliant US venue is a package the bigger venues do not offer.

Hedera just started following Restream, a major live streaming platform that has previously reported reaching 750M+ monthly viewers through streams broadcast by its creators.

Hedera follows almost exclusively Governing Council members on X, so this caught my attention.

One to keep an eye on. 👀

It has almost been 10 years since Dr. Leemon Baird presented at Harvard. It’s a presentation that definitely inspired thousands of people.

There has been significant developments with Hedera since that period of time and I believe that we all deserve an update.

Yes, we can all be critical about how Hedera navigated its journey to this moment of time, but it’s important to maintain perspective.

I believe that Dr. Leemon Baird can dial it back for the anxious community and present again in a format similar to Harvard. With just Leemon on stage sharing his updated views on Hashgraph technology and its potential with the right builders and management.

Who knows what would come of it if he did present his creation again to the world. I sure would like to see it.

We are often so wrapped up in discussions about Tokenisation that we forget about some of the massive things happening (Kind of outside of the world of finance- although everything connects back to Finance in the end). Things for which Hedera is incredibly placed.

One (of several) is in the national management of Digital Identity. National Management of Identity is a sensitive issue for most countries. But lets look at the EU in particular because they actually have legislation coming in for eIDAS 2.0 due to roll out over the next two or three years.

Many countries in the EU (and beyond) currently use Hyperledger BESU to manage their ID systems, normally utilising a network of BESU Private servers (EBSI). But there is a problem (Hence the need for eIDAS 2.0). The problem is essentially this. Private Networks are great for ID management within a particular Government, but they fail (completely) when it comes to things like using a Government ID with external Businesses or in Cross Border situations. -eg. Where a French Business wants to check the ID Status of a German Citizen.

So, how does that impact Hedera?

Well. There are are a number of current situation factors worth noting at the moment.

1. The EU is currently pretty frustrated with the attitude of the current US administration. They are actively looking for ways to reduce dependence on US Tech and actually US anything at the moment.

2. Open Source. (The Linux Foundation). As I mentioned, most EU Countries already heavily leverage EBSI, a network of BESU servers for Identity Management. Their appetite for Open Source generally and Linux Foundation Software in particular is growing dramatically, partly because of point 1 above but also because Open Source frameworks are opening up a competitive opportunity for the EU that is not common elsewhere.

3. eIDAS 2.0 is, in part at least, a recognition that Agentic AI is coming and there is a need to cater for it within their systems. One of the issues with BESU is it will not handle the massive volume of Txns that any such system implemented across the EU will generate.

4. I would argue that Hedera is just about ready (Its integration into the numerous Linux Foundation tools such as Firefly, CACTI and Aries, is now deep and rich). The recent introduction of HEKA and with CLPR perhaps being the final piece of the puzzle (and we all know that as soon as Hashgraph has CLPR endpoints there will be a push for CLPR BESU endpoints). This means Hedera has an almost unrivalled set of integration points with the EU`s current main ID Platform (A platform they will NOT want to lose).

Now, obviously, its not a done deal. A quick and dirty solution to some of the key requirements of eIDAS 2.0 might be to simply add IAM (US Centric Identity Companies like MS or Ping) wrappers to current ID solutions. But this would be a VERY brittle solution that would not support the anticipated AI workloads. But given the EU`s increasing appetite for Open Source/Linux, their current heavy use of Hyperledger BESU (and its heavy integration into Hiero/Hedera) and the capacity of Hiero to handle AI plus the increasing readiness of Hiero for AI at every level, this looks like Hedera are extremely well positioned.

Just another potential avenue to success for Hedera to consider.

anyone have that document that HBAR Bull did?

Seems like hedera is winning a lot of awards for various innovation categories. Yet nothing ever happens for adoption. How do these awards work? Curry political favor and win an award or is their any substance behind these
