Update v0.68 of network $HBAR , scheduled for January 13, focuses on making Hedera smart contracts even more compatible with the Ethereum ecosystem (EVM) and more efficient for developers.
Key technical features to be added or improved:
👁️🗨️ Optimization of hash calculations (Keccak-256). This will allow smart contracts to interact faster and cheaper with other blockchains (cross-chain bridges), which typically has a positive impact on the total value locked (TVL) in the network.
🤖 Enhanced HTS capabilities. Dynamic token management: Smart contracts will gain the ability to more flexibly adjust token parameters (e.g., limits or access rights) directly through contract code.
🔐 Improved transaction security: New checks are being introduced to prevent accidental asset transfers during the execution of complex agreements.
📌 Gas cost reduction (Gas Optimization). The update reviews the "gas" (fee) consumption model for certain types of operations, making complex decentralized applications (dApps) more accessible to users.
This means the network will be able to process more transactions per unit of time, increasing its fundamental value!
