Hedera Consensus Service extends functionality for users
HCS is a service proposed to generate a decentralized and auditable overview of immutable events. The timestamp can be used for both Web2 and Web3 applications. HCS allows users to send messages to the Hedera network for consensus, get a time stamp and guarantee the honesty of the message.
Users can now create, update, and delete topics, send messages, retrieve topic messages, and obtain topic information directly through MetaMask. These features provide new capabilities for developers and users, making it easy to connect and work within the Hedera network.
In addition to these core features, Tuum Technologies has also focused on improving the Hedera wallet Snap user interface and user experience.
Some changes are being made to integrate MetaMask’s new features to improve the experience for developers and users. This focus on UI/UX refinement underlines the commitment to providing an easy-to-use and efficient tool for the Hedera community. This latest update is a welcome boost to the Hedera ecosystem, providing developers with a powerful and comprehensive set of resources to create new dApps.
If marked in our previous article, the Hedera Network (HBAR) has experienced a significant increase in user engagement, registering 400,000 new accounts in just one week. This growth has been fueled by recent partnerships with Blade Wallet and Karate Combat, which have been smoothly integrated into the Hedera network.
HBAR token is among the best digital assets
HBAR, the native token of the Hedera network, is currently 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 recently has a 4% increase in the last 24 hours, trading at $0.056. HBAR trading volume is down 58% in the last 24 hours. However, the market capitalization contradicts this, registering an increase of 3.26% at 2B.
