ill be sharing some big announcements this episode that i think many hashgraph enthusiasts will dig!

really excited about 2023!

plot twist!

you can now stake your #HBAR with a @Ledger device (only when creating a new Hedera account).

a clever workaround discovered by @YamgoApp was quickly adopted by @HashPackApp how cool is that?

arguably one of the most substantial changes to the @hedera network could be coming in the form of HIP-655 outlined by @michaelgarber87 from @swirldslabs.

this would create an "inbox" for tokens sent to you pending association. lots to unpack here...

seems @CalaxyApp is making moves...

we've seen new updates from the team, teasers of a new, web based platform and now $CLXY has been listed on Bittrex!

a new update from The @HBAR_foundation announcing their support for European deep tech start-up @humansdotai brings new possibilities for AI & web3.

they offer AIs for language/voice, web3, avatars, NFTs and more. we'll unpack this stuff on the show! medium.com/humansdotai/hu…

in a recent interview, hashgraph inventor @leemonbaird spoke with @NeilCHughes about the future of Hedera, but most interestingly mentioned "28 governing council members"... hmm

listen:

lots to review from this!

it's worth highlighting on this weeks episode that the @hedera discord server was revamped to be more community focused. the initiative was spearheaded by @defigirlxoxo and so far has been a success!

recently, independent Hedera board member Monique Morrow appeared on the Gossip about Gossip podcast with @zenobiaZAG to recap Davos.

check it out! i have a few key takeaways i want to highlight from this... hedera.com/podcast?wchann…

RegTech firm @docStribute has partnered with @Penrith_BS to leverage Hedera for security boosts "through three-factor verification checks each time a document is opened". fintech.global/2023/01/30/uk-…

wow @hedera just passed $40 million TVL, a huge milestone achieved in just ~6 months (starting from $0).

it looks like @stader_hbar & @SaucerSwapLabs lead the way by a large margin, but @HeliSwap_DEX & @Pangolin_Hedera continue to grow with more DeFi platforms coming!

here's a fascinating breakdown of some partnerships @hedera has formed in the healthcare industry 🧵

recently, we've seen a massive jump in HCS topic creation on the Hedera mainnet leaving folks scratching their head about what could be going live next...

could it be coupons? could it be HSUITE?

this conversation on reddit is great! reddit.com/r/Hedera/comme…

we continue to see account creation on #Hedera skyrocket, almost like a separate step function!

let's chat about what could be causing the network activity!

https://twitter.com/dylanfaircloth_/status/1621865962663469057

the Hedera mainnet has done about 1 billion transactions over the last 30 days of which the first 8 days were before the step function!

it seems clearly that the Hedera network is poised to complete 1 billion transactions every 20-30 days at this rate!

a new product called "Sentry" from @Ledger_Works brings realtime Hedera account activity notifications to your discord server or email address. very cool!

https://twitter.com/Ledger_Works/status/1621557081097605120

a new "NFT DEX" from @HbarSuite has launched, bringing AMMs for NFT pools to the Hedera ecosystem. really interesting stuff... hbarsuite.app/nft-dex/home

exciting stuff! @GenfinityIO will be bringing "Hashentines Dayz" to the community with 250k #HBAR in prizes from over 30 projects!

these kinds of community events bring new folks into the ecosystem!
