Hedera Introduces Tiered HBAR Rate Limiter

On Tuesday, the Hedera team announced via a blog post that it had launched the Tiered HBAR Rate Limiter. This powerful tool enables operators to categorize users into different spending tiers, ensuring predictable and sustainable cost management.

The tiered system assigns users (or groups of users) to specific HBAR spending plans tailored to their behavior and contribution to the network. The Basic Tier is for general users, while the Extended Tier and Privileged Tier are for supported projects and trusted partners, respectively. 

Operators can fine-tune the rate limiter to match their specific needs. The feature allows operators to define and enforce spending limits for different user groups, ensuring expenses remain manageable. High-value users or strategic projects can receive additional resources while maintaining budget discipline. Finally, with monitoring tools, operators can easily track activity, adjust user tiers, and allocate resources efficiently.

Hedera Hashgraph is a distributed public ledger infrastructure. According to the team, it offers significant improvements over existing blockchains in five areas: performance, security, governance, stability, and regulatory compliance. HBAR is trading at $0.25338 at press time, down 1% over the last 24 hours.
