We’re excited to share a major milestone in the evolution of the Hedera Wallet Snap — our latest update brings full support for the Hedera Consensus Service (HCS). With this addition, the Hedera Wallet Snap now offers a suite of core Hedera services, making it a fully robust and powerful tool for developers building on the Hedera network.
Introducing Hedera Consensus Service
The Hedera Consensus Service (HCS) is a specialized tool designed for creating decentralized, auditable logs of immutable and timestamped events, perfectly suited for both web2 and web3 applications. With HCS, you can submit messages to the Hedera network for consensus, receive a trusted timestamp, and ensure fair ordering.
HCS is already making an impact across a variety of use cases, including:
Provenance Tracking: Transparent and reliable tracking of assets across supply chains.
Cross-Network Asset Transfers: Securely logging asset movements between blockchain networks.
DAO Governance: Ensuring integrity in vote counting within decentralized autonomous organizations.
IoT Device Monitoring: Maintaining an unalterable record of IoT device activities.
A Fully Equipped Tool for Developers
With the integration of HCS, the Hedera Wallet Snap now fully supports the core Hedera services, including the Hedera Token Service and the Smart Contract Service. This makes the Snap a comprehensive and versatile tool, ready to support a wide range of decentralized applications (dApps) and services on the Hedera network.
To see the Hedera Consensus Service in action, check out our demo video:
The video showcases how easy it is to leverage HCS within the MetaMask environment, demonstrating its potential for your next big project.
What’s Next: Enhancing the User Experience
With the core services now fully integrated, our focus is shifting to refining the UI/UX of the Hedera Wallet Snap. We are working on upgrades that will incorporate the latest features available from MetaMask, ensuring a smoother and more intuitive experience for both developers and users.
We’re committed to continually improving the Snap, making it not only functional but also user-friendly, so that you can focus on building the future without being bogged down by technical hurdles.
