v0.62.0-rc1

v0.61.0

Overview

The Hedera JSON RPC Relay v0.61.0 introduces a significant enhancement with the fast transaction hash return mechanism for the eth_sendRawTransaction endpoint. This feature enables the API to return the transaction hash immediately after passing prechecks, with all subsequent processes—such as broadcasting to the network, handling file transactions, polling the mirror node, and tracking HBAR consumption—executed asynchronously in the background. This innovation improves transaction processing speed, providing users with a transaction hash without waiting for the full transaction lifecycle, thereby enhancing both efficiency and user experience. Additionally, this update aligns with Hedera’s ongoing EVM equivalence efforts, ensuring smoother interoperability and compatibility with Ethereum-based tools and workflows.

Important Note on the Fast-Return Mechanism: With the transaction hash returned immediately, clients are responsible for monitoring the transaction status using the hash (e.g., via eth_getTransactionReceipt or confirmation tracking). Internal errors, such as exceeding maxChunkSize, HBAR limits, SDK-related, or any other issues, are no longer reflected in the response. This may result in eth_getTransactionReceipt returning null indefinitely, requiring clients to handle these scenarios appropriately.

In addition, this release includes the option to disable the HBar Rate Limiter, providing greater flexibility for specific use cases. A new design document has also been created to enable access to HTS token EVM addresses, laying the groundwork for further integrations and capabilities within the ecosystem.

Beyond these highlights, the release addresses important bug fixes, including resolving invalid cache records in eth_getBlockByHash. Dependency upgrades, such as updates to @graphprotocol/graph-cli and hedera-local, improve platform compatibility and performance. Internal changes, such as enhanced pre-commit linting and workflow permissions updates, contribute to a more stable and maintainable codebase. These updates reflect the ongoing commitment to improving the Hedera JSON RPC Relay for developers and end-users alike.

v0.61.0-rc1

v0.60.0

Overview

The Hedera JSON RPC Relay v0.60.0 release introduces critical updates aimed at improving transaction handling and robustness.

Notable enhancements include the removal of transactions with status INVALID_ACCOUNT_ID from block-specific routes, ensuring cleaner and more accurate transaction data. Additionally, sendRawTransaction has been updated to include retries and polls for transaction validity in cases of timeouts or connection errors, enhancing reliability in processing. These improvements strengthen the platform's ability to handle edge cases and provide a smoother developer experience.

This release also incorporates numerous bug fixes, dependency upgrades, and internal changes. Key fixes address issues such as incorrect WebSocket metrics and cache key errors in eth_getBlockByHash, ensuring greater stability. Dependency upgrades, including updates to @hashgraph/sdk and web3, bring improved performance and compatibility. Internally, updates such as dividing Hbar Limiter tests into batches, adding ESLint rules, and stabilizing rate limiter tests reflect the team’s commitment to maintaining a cleaner and more manageable codebase. These changes collectively contribute to a more robust and developer-friendly platform.
