Hedera v0.79 mainnet upgrade on November 18: what changes

Hedera is scheduled to upgrade its mainnet software to version 0.79 on November 18, according to CryptoTicker.io. The reported update concerns Hedera’s production network, where applications and transactions operate on the live distributed ledger.

The available announcement identifies the version number and planned upgrade date, but does not specify the technical changes included in v0.79. Network upgrades can involve software maintenance, performance work, security-related updates, or changes intended to support developers and applications, though the precise scope of this release was not detailed.

Hedera is a public distributed-ledger network that uses the Hashgraph consensus mechanism and supports tokenization, smart contracts and decentralized applications. Mainnet upgrade schedules are relevant to developers, node operators and businesses using the network because software changes may require operational planning or updates to integrations. Users and ecosystem participants will be watching for further release notes or implementation details ahead of the November 18 deployment.
