- AI Studio enables transparent and auditable AI development directly on the Hedera network using natural language tools and decentralized protocols.
- With CCIP integration and fractionalized assets, Hedera is building a broader, more versatile ecosystem beyond traditional AI.
Hedera has introduced AI Studio—a modular open-source toolkit specifically designed to build trustworthy and auditable AI applications directly on its network. This move is clearly not just a branding strategy or showing off technology.
AI Studio comes with a fairly serious goal: to overcome the problem of trust and transparency that has been the main obstacle in the world of AI. Just imagine if the AI application you use could be traced to its decision steps, and could even be audited publicly. That’s what this new platform from Hedera offers.
Hello AI Studio! AI Studio is an open-source toolkit for building trusted, auditable AI apps on the Hedera network with:

Bringing AI to Life on Hedera with Tools That Actually Work
In AI Studio, there are several important features designed to connect AI technology with Hedera’s infrastructure naturally. One of the most interesting is the ElizaOS Plugin—a feature that allows AI agents to interact in real-time via natural language.
Then there is also the Hedera Agent Kit which is compatible with LangChain, allowing the use of JavaScript in building AI agents that are directly connected to the Hedera network.
But not only that, a communication protocol called OpenConvAI is also embedded to ensure that message exchanges between AI agents remain safe and traceable. And if you’re wondering how AI can talk to external data sources, the MCP Server in AI Studio is ready to answer that need.
Furthermore, all AI agent activities running through AI Studio are directly recorded in the Hedera Consensus Service. This is important, because it means that every decision and action taken by the agent can be audited. Transactions are also relatively light in terms of cost, without sacrificing speed—two things that usually don’t go hand in hand.
Especially since Hedera implemented HIP-1084 on April 15, which removed transaction fees for successful Ethereum transactions. This seems to be a signal that Hedera is serious about simplifying the developer experience, while maintaining cost efficiency without compromising security.
Building Bridges Across Chains and Real-World Assets
On the other hand, Hedera also continues to expand the reach of its ecosystem. CNF previously reported the launch of HashSphere, a private network specifically for companies operating under strict regulations. The goal is simple—help corporations adopt decentralized technology without worrying about compliance.
Additionally, on April 8, Hedera also successfully integrated the Chainlink CCIP protocol into their mainnet. With CCIP, developers can build applications that can send tokens, messages, and even commands to multiple blockchain networks. This opens up a huge door for AI Studio to not only play on one network.
If we look more broadly, Hedera is indeed building a fairly diverse ecosystem. From the tokenization of real-world assets (RWA), the potential ETF that is being studied, to projects like Cask Capital.
As we previously reported, the company is turning Scotch whisky casks into NFT-based shares that can be owned for prices starting at £100. So it’s not just AI projects that are being developed, but also new ways to access luxury assets—and it’s all happening on the Hedera network.
Meanwhile, as of press time, HBAR is swapped hands at about $0.2006, up 3.23% over the last 7 days and 26.97% over the last 30 days.
