“Hiero’s graduation under the Linux Foundation Decentralized Trust is a powerful signal for the Hedera community and the wider ecosystem.

“Hiero’s graduation is a significant milestone for decentralized trust. It demonstrates that open governance and shared responsibility can deliver real, lasting value. As a founding member of LFDT, Hashgraph has focused on the technical foundations from the start, ensuring that no network depends on a single company to survive. Hiero’s maturity proves that principle in action, and the strong community behind it is ready to carry it forward.”
