✨NEW: HIP-1535 introduces CLPR, a Cross-Ledger Protocol that represents a fundamental shift in how Hiero networks connect to other blockchains using direct, cryptographic verification of each ledger's own consensus, enabling secure cross-ledger messaging at scale while eliminating bridge validators, wrapped tokens, and intermediary trust. HIP draft available for anyone to review and share ideas:

At LFDT Maintainer Days 2026, @hendrikEbbers (@hashgraph) shared how Hiero has grown into a graduated LFDT project, with more companies contributing, increased commit activity, and continued efforts to bring new contributors into the project. ▶️

"Whenever something is struggling, we can bounce back in another area." L'Oreal CEO Nicolas Hieronimus tells @lacqua how the cosmetics company navigates "this crazy world"

As part of Project Acacia, Australian Payments Plus developed a token interchange built on #Hiero# that enabled stablecoins and wholesale CBDC to participate in the same settlement flow. Built with @Hashgraph and @Hedera.

The first known cryptography is roughly 4,000 years old. Around 1900 BCE a scribe carved hieroglyphs in the tomb of an Egyptian nobleman named Khnumhotep II. In a few places he swapped standard symbols for unusual ones. Scholars don't think this was real secret-keeping. More likely it was for dignity, mystery, or to impress educated visitors. It is the oldest known instance of the technique that would later become cryptography.

Here is an informal overview of the recently released HIP (1535) for @Hedera's CLPR or Cross Ledger Protocol. I go over what a HIP is, the general process a HIP goes through, and then I read through some of the CLPR documentation available on the Hiero github.

Open source means the blueprint is auditable. Open governance means you can shape where it goes. Those are completely different things. @hendrikEbbers, @hashgraph #Hiero#, on the distinction that matters most for critical infrastructure.

Australian Payments Plus used a proxy token model that kept a wholesale CBDC on private HashSphere while using a proxy representation on @Hedera. The token interchange was built on Hiero. Case study:

Close to 80 years old. Physically disabled - wheelchair at airport, walker when shopping, walking stick at home. Losing parts of my memory bank, little bit hard of hearing. Mostly at doctors appointments when not at the computer. Been supporting myself from the futures markets since 1975 when Gerald Ford took the office of president of the US when Tricky Dick Nixon resigned and Microsoft was founded. Thinking about retiring in a couple ways Not from futures trading company's for my own personal account. Probably will never quit. It's good I always carry stop orders on every position I hold. Personal on Twitter X is a yes for quitting - the way I think about trading is mostly thought of as arcane by the "moderns" - surprised because it works better than it might have in the early 1900s. Thoughtful engagement on X is all but history Probably phase out, then quit on Teaching -- there just are not that many people interested in learning the geometrically-described hieroglyphics of price discovery of the olden days. I have seen during my time dozens of schemes for trading come, then go
