Hedera Consensus Service Expands Functionality for Users
HCS is a service proposed to generate a decentralised and auditable record of immutable events. Its timestamp can be used for both Web2 and Web3 applications. HCS allows users to send messages to the Hedera network for consensus, get a timestamp, and guarantee the message’s fairness.
Users can now create, update, and delete topics, submit messages, retrieve topic messages, and obtain topic information directly through MetaMask. These features provide new opportunities for developers and users, enabling them to easily connect and work within the Hedera network.
Besides these core features, Tuum Technologies has also focused on improving the Hedera wallet Snap user interface and the user experience.
Some changes are being made to integrate the new features from MetaMask to enhance the experience for developers and users. This focus on UI/UX refinement underscores the commitment to providing a user-friendly and efficient tool for the Hedera community. This latest update is a welcome boost for the Hedera ecosystem, providing developers with a powerful and extensive suite of resources to create new dApps.
As highlighted in our previous article, the Hedera Network (HBAR) has experienced a significant increase in user engagement, recording 400,000 new accounts in just one week. This growth was fueled by the recent partnerships with Blade Wallet and Karate Combat, which have smoothly integrated into the Hedera network.
HBAR Token Ranks Among Top Digital Assets
HBAR, the native token of the Hedera network, currently ranks as the 36th largest digital asset by market capitalization. Earlier this year, HBAR saw its price rise to $0.090, marking a 25% increase over the year. However, the token has recently experienced a 4% increase in the past 24 hours, trading at $0.056. The trading volume of HBAR has declined 58% in the last 24 hours. However, the market cap contradicts this, registering an increase of 3.26% at 2B.
