Type: Distributed ledger software
Hiero is the open source DLT codebase used to build the Hedera network; including the hashgraph consensus algorithm and all core services, tooling and libraries. Hiero supports the development of a wide range of decentralized applications and core platform features tailored for the Hedera network, including wallets, exchanges, explorers, bridges, SDKs, private ledgers, and advanced cryptographic solutions.
“This contribution represents a historic moment in the evolution of decentralized networks and is setting a precedent for transparency and collaboration in the blockchain industry. By contributing our codebase to LF Decentralized Trust, as project Hiero, we are reaffirming our commitment to open governance and collaboration. LF Decentralized Trust's mission to advance decentralized systems aligns perfectly with our own goals. We look forward to providing developers with unmatched access to tools and resources, creating an environment where decentralized applications can truly thrive."
Charles Adkins, President of Hedera
“By contributing Hiero to the Linux Foundation, an organization with a long history of supporting open source and open innovation, Hedera demonstrates to council members, ecosystem partners, grantees, and the builder community that it is committed to growing the capabilities of its network through transparency and meritocracy.”
- Dr. Leemon Baird, Inventor, Co-founder, & Chief Scientist, Hashgraph
