Access Hedera Mainnet Explorer with NOWNodes
NOWNodes provides stable, high-performance connectivity to the Hedera network through reliable RPC endpoints, Hedera json-rpc relay, and mirror node infrastructure. Empower your Web3 applications by connecting to a full Hedera node through our secure API.
What is Hedera (HBAR)?
Hedera is a public network built on the Hashgraph consensus algorithm. Unlike traditional blockchain systems, Hashgraph offers high throughput, low latency, fair ordering, and fast finality. The network is optimized for developers needing predictable fees, enterprise-grade security, and the ability to run EVM-compatible smart contracts. Developers can query transactions, perform state validation, configure endpoints, and execute smart contracts across the Hedera mainnet, testnet, and previewnet.
Hedera provides predictable fee structures for HBAR transfers, contract calls, token operations, and large-scale production workloads. The platform’s scalability and deterministic latency make it suitable for enterprise systems, governance frameworks, tokenization, payments, digital identity, and high-throughput decentralized applications.
Key Advantages of Hedera Network
- Hashgraph Consensus Infrasrtucture
Hedera utilizes the Hashgraph consensus algorithm, enabling secure, asynchronous Byzantine fault tolerance and extremely fast validation. This approach ensures consistent network timestamping, fairness in transaction ordering, and efficient execution for both development and production use cases.
- Reliability and Network Stability
Hedera delivers enterprise-grade reliability with predictable performance, stable consensus, and consistent low-latency execution. Its trusted validation, accurate timestamping, and dependable RPC node availability make it suitable for production systems and commercial-grade JSON-RPC relays.
- Open-Source Ecosystem
Hedera maintains open-source repositories on GitHub, including specifications, documentation, configuration examples, code examples, and deployment guides. Community services like HashIO and the Hiero JSON-RPC Relay allow developers to experiment with Hedera network features during development and testing purposes, while production use is strongly encouraged to rely on commercial-grade JSON-RPC relays or host their own instance.
Connect to the Hedera RPC with NOWNodes
Connecting to the Hedera network via NOWNodes enables developers to focus on building while NOWNodes manages reliability, uptime, configuration, node resilience, and validation cloud infrastructure. With NOWNodes node API developers and users can deploy smart contracts without running their own node. Through our RPC node endpoints, JSON-RPC relay services, and mirror node access, developers can deploy contracts, query data, run transactions, or integrate wallets with minimal latency.
Our API provides consistent performance and secure connectivity, supporting Hedera mainnet. Developers can utilize Hedera network resources without hosting their own node or maintaining complex backend infrastructure.
