We gained valuable insights into the 2026 enhancements planned for Hedera during a significant session featuring Mark Blackman alongside @nconduah. The dialogue centered on critical innovations such as Block Nodes, Block Streams, and Block Proofs utilizing Threshold Signature Schemes. These developments offer far more than just increased velocity. They represent a shift toward greater decentralization and improved verifiability. Additionally, these upgrades ensure that developers and Mirror Node operators will have access to a wealth of comprehensive network data.
