Learn the Basics

Start your journey with the public Hedera network by learning the basics — from understanding the network’s architecture to who’s building next-generation applications, you’ll have a proper foundation to start building.

Hedera ExplainedUnderstand the basics of Hedera network node types, developer services & API, governance, $HBAR, and more by reading this introduction to Hedera.https://hedera.com/learning/hedera-hashgraph/what-is-hedera-hashgraphlanding-hedera-explained-icon.png
How It WorksHedera is an open-source, public, proof-of-stake network. Hedera network services offer low & fixed fees,10k TPS, and instant transaction finality.https://hedera.com/how-it-workswhy hedera.png
Core ConceptsDive into the technical core concepts of Hedera. Learn everything from how accounts are created to scheduling transactions and querying on-ledger data.core-conceptscore concepts.png
Hedera EcosystemFrom permissionless web3 startups and NFT projects to Fortune 500 companies, take a look into who’s choosing Hedera to build their next-generation application.https://hedera.com/ecosystemcase-studies-icon.png

Getting Started

Follow the step-by-step guides in the Getting Started series to start developing on the Hedera network today. The series offers personalized developer learning paths to help you understand the essentials and start building web3 applications.

1. Create Testnet AccountCreate and fund your Hedera Testnet account using the Hedera developer portal, faucet, or HashPack wallet.create-and-fund-your-hedera-testnet-account.mdtestnet access.png
2. Set Up EnvironmentSet up your development environment after creating your testnet account to interact with the Hedera network.environment-setup.mdenvironment setup (1).png
3. Choose Learning PathChoose your developer learning path: Web2 Developers or EVM Developers, depending on your experience level.https://docs.hedera.com/hedera/getting-started#select-your-developer-learning-pathtransfer hbar.png

Build Your First Decentralized Application (DApp)

Learn how to use Hedera network services and build your first dApp by following these step-by-step tutorials.

Create & Deploy a Smart ContractCreate a Solidity Smart Contract that interacts with the Hedera Token Service, bringing full programmability into your token-based application.deploy-a-contract-using-the-hedera-token-service.mdcreate & deploy a smart contract.png
Create Fungible TokensService to create fungible tokens that map to ERC-20 standards and scale to 10,000+ TPS.create-and-transfer-your-first-fungible-token.mdfungible-tokens-icon.png
Create Non-Fungible TokensUse the Hedera Token Service to create non-fungible tokens that map to ERC-721 standards and scale to 10,000+ TPS.create-and-transfer-your-first-nft.mdnon-fungible-tokens-icon.png
Write Verifiable Data to HederaUse the Hedera Consensus Service as a decentralized message bus to write immutable, verifiable, and consensus timestamped data at 10k+ TPS and $0.0001 per message.submit-your-first-message.mdwrite verifiable data.png

Hedera Network Services

Learn about the suite of network services offered on Hedera and how each can be used to build decentralized applications.

Smart ContractsAn EVM-based smart contract service. Build and deploy contracts using Solidity or port over an existing smart contract with ease.smart-contractssmart-contracts-icon.png
Token ServiceConfigure, mint, and manage native fungible and non-fungible tokens or using ERC-20 & 721 standards on the Hedera network.token-servicetoken-service-icon.png
Consensus ServiceIncorporate scalable, real-time, auditable logs of events with consensus timestamps into any web2 or permissionless web3 application.consensus-serviceconsensus-service-icon.png
File ServiceHedera File Service is a decentralized file storage platform that allows users to securely store and access files on a distributed network of computers using hash as a file identifier.readme-1-1file-service-icon.png

EVM-Compatible Tools

Continue utilizing familiar Ethereum development tools such as Web3.js, Truffle, Ethers, Hardhat, and Foundry to build on Hedera using the JSON-RPC Relay. As an Ethereum developer, your workflow does not have to change.

Create an ECDSA AccountCreate an ECDSA account that works with JSON-RPC to use EVM-compatible tooling, libraries, and wallets.https://github.com/hashgraph/hedera-json-rpc-relay/blob/main/docs/examples/account-alias-ecdsa.jscreate ECDSA account.png
Set Up MetamaskAdd a Hedera network to Metamask using the Hashio implementation of the JSON-RPC Relay. Sign transactions and queries to test your Hedera-powered application.https://github.com/hashgraph/hedera-json-rpc-relay/blob/main/docs/transfer-guide.mdsetup metamask.png
Libraries & ToolingIntegrate Hedera into Ethers, web3.js, Truffle, or Hardhat for building, debugging, and deploying your smart contract applications on the Hedera network.https://github.com/hashgraph/hedera-json-rpc-relay/tree/main/toolslibraries & tooling.png
JSON-RPC RelayJSON-RPC makes it easy for existing EVM-based libraries, dev tools, and wallets to work effortlessly on Hedera. json-rpc-relay.mdJSON-RPC relay.png
