HEFFE III

After a long wait, Hera V3 beta is finally live on @solana 🔔 During beta, you can jump into the interface, check routes and quotes, and feed us with your feedback. Execution will stay disabled for now, and both the pathfinder and the UI will keep getting better every single day. Bad routes, broken stuff, weird behavior, or anything you think should be improved, all of it is valuable. Take a look now: beta.hera.ag ✅

real-time quotes, deeper routes, better infra. not hero, just Hera 🧠👾 v3-core hits @solana first, now live in beta at beta.hera.ag ✅

this week we’re focused on smoothing out instability across a few propAMM integrations, bringing new liquidity sources online, and pushing an updated build with refreshed routing logic. on the UI side, 3 separate patches have already been shipped. for the most critical part of the @solana rollout, we’ve started working on CU/instruction optimization and using ALT. we’re building an async decision layer that can keep route expansion within acc limits. at the same time, Jito bundles and deeper v0 tx flow upgrades are now in the pipeline, with research and experimental testing already underway. lastly, it looks like we’ll be using @helius sender internally as well, still in testing for now. still shipping, still deep in the trenches.

Hera v3 beta is going live. New UI and v3-core dropping in the next few days. Execution disabled for now, but everyone can jump in, test it, and feel the engine. We gather feedback, then move to alpha as soon as the @solana programs are ready. Let’s go! 🔜😏

We’re back, fam! 😝✊ The past month’s been rough with some serious family health stuff on the core-dev side, but the Hera Solana grind never stopped. Here’s where we’re at right now 👇 > AMM integrations took way longer than expected, but they’re finally wrapped. Private AMMs were definitely the grindy part. New liquidity sources keep popping up daily, so we’re staying aggressive about keeping everything synced and active. > With @solana DEX aggregator competition heating up, we pushed multiple routing + pathfinder algorithm upgrades. The ecosystem is moving fast, and our internal LLM-driven architecture has been a huge edge for nasty edge cases. > Now moving into execution testing. Core programs are entering the final SVM-ready stage, IDLs are getting locked in, and we’ve got extra security programs lined up for reviews. Hera has never been tied to even a minor exploit, and we plan to keep it that way. > We also built a full simulator environment for quote comparisons and swap stress tests. Parallel execution is being tuned hard: low latency, clean quotes, solid execution paths, compute-efficient routing. > UI is basically there. The full pathfinder <-> frontend integration is complete: API quotes, route parsing, and request structures are now fully aligned. What’s left is mostly deployment polish. > Infra is locked in: Kubernetes architecture, AWS autoscaling/LBs + CF shielding, plus blackhole-style rules against hostile traffic. Pathfinder can scale up or down purely based on demand. > Quote manager is ready. Every UI/API request flows through the internal AI operator layer before execution, fully modular and designed around the pathfinder core, CPI flows, and program interfaces. > Route selector is also live. Users can directly control routing behavior: prioritize speed, maximize output, or just stick to the default path. One of our key UX features, and it’s ready. We won’t claim always best quotes, real markets have too many variables. But we will ship a protocol that never stops hunting for the best execution. Targeting an execution-disabled UI release in Feb: closed environment, live conditions, real community feedback. After that, official mainnet deployment is the only step left. More updates soon. Loud phase incoming! 🌋

We’re getting closer to the @solana realm, and yeah, the excitement’s kicking in hard. Here’s a quick rundown of where we’re at in the dev process 👇 > The Hera core-AI module has passed all integration tests successfully, no compatibility issues at all. So yeah, the environment’s fully ready for native agents. > Market maker integrations are in progress. Most AMMs are done, but we’re taking extra care with the private MMs since the efficiency there is insane. Pathfinder needs to operate with 100% accuracy just like on EVM, and all the configs for that are being finalized. > Since we want Hera v3 to run flawlessly, we’ve built a simulation environment for swap tests that’s fully compatible with the SVM architecture. The integration process is being validated and packaged, perfect modular sync incoming. > We’re also working on lightvm to build core programs like the router and manager. As integrations move forward, our program and IDL structures are becoming more defined. > UI development is led by @v21studio, and sneak peeks are dropping soon. We’re putting serious effort into the user side because that part has to be spotless. FYI, it’s gonna be dope! > API testing hasn’t started yet, but all the prep work is done. As soon as integrations are complete, we’ll launch API structure and the quote manager protocol. > On the AWS and CF side, we’re running a new experimental AI module with limited decision capabilities for now. It’ll handle offchain optimizations based on its own server-side suggestions. We’ve seen the recent "DEX aggregator wars" heating up on the Solana side. Unfair comparisons, cherry-picked screenshots, inflated outputs, and all sorts of logic tricks using version names. We’re coming to Solana to offer a real alternative to Jupiter. We’re watching, learning, and we won’t stay silent when we see unfair play. Lastly, we’re preparing to share real, fair "vs X" quote comparison reports for Hera v3 soon. We’ve already noticed a few things behind the scenes, so it’s time to prove them. After that, we’ll move to the mainnet deployment phase. We’re grinding hard in the lab to make hera[.]ag the go-to swap engine on Solana. See you in the next post, fam! ☔️⚔️🔮✅

Jupiter is the heart of Solana, no doubt about that. That’s why some tried to hit you with fake quotes and messy marketing moves. The ultra upgrade looks great, but we’re confident we’ve built something even better. Hera v3 is coming to Solana soon, not to compete, but to give users another powerful choice. After almost three years of building, we rebuilt everything from scratch for Solana. Full Rust setup, reworked comms layer, and our AI logic got a full evolution. We’re still deep in integration, watching the chain closely, and we’re sure we’ll bring some good energy there. We’re not here to drag anyone down, just to rise to the same level. Comparison? Sure. Hostility? Never. Much respect to you, Jupiter. 😻

While the final deployment of Hera V3 is still undergoing its last layers of preparation, we believe it's time to start unveiling the core capabilities that define this new era. Hera V3 isn’t merely a version upgrade—it’s a ground-up reinvention of the protocol’s architecture, introducing both frontend innovations and backend advancements that collectively form one of the most technically refined and forward-looking releases in the aggregator space. Let’s explore what lies beneath the surface. 📜👇 ▪️ Unified Multi-Liquidity Computation (UMLC) At the heart of V3 lies a novel architecture that can dynamically index and compute across tens of thousands of liquidity endpoints with zero error tolerance. The UMLC module eliminates reliance on fixed-path scenarios or static routing segments. Instead, it leverages real-time data streams and predictive liquidity matrices to discover the absolute optimal route per swap context. Powered by our in-house core-AI, it achieves up to 88% reduction in computation load and significantly minimizes execution latency. ▪️ Dynamic Pathfinder Configuration The routing logic in V3 is no longer a one-size-fits-all solution. Users are now empowered to determine the pathfinder’s depth of analysis. Whether prioritizing gas efficiency or optimal output, the route generator will adapt accordingly. For high-value swaps, wider route coverage may result in longer processing—but with considerably better results. In addition, we are testing a smart AI-Agent Selection Layer, which can autonomously select the best pathfinder mode based on swap intent—while always leaving the final control in the user’s hands. ▪️ Maximum Security Execution Layer Trustless architecture demands provable safety. In Hera V3, swap approval and execution are strictly decoupled. The contract that holds user approval is not the contract that executes the swap. Instead, routing logic is distributed across an isolated router-executor-manager triad, each with predefined, non-upgradable permissions. This separation ensures all swaps occur within a cryptographically predictable and tamper-proof environment. ▪️ API Integration & Partner Module Beyond its native UI, Hera V3 will offer a robust API layer to allow both institutional protocols and independent developers to integrate swap capabilities directly into their platforms. Full documentation, modular app templates, and integration tooling will accompany this release. A dedicated partner module will support revenue-sharing models, enabling third-party DEXes, wallets, DeFi apps, bridges, or onramp providers to seamlessly embed Hera functionality. ▪️ Big Data Fetcher & Resolver (BDFR) Our new data infrastructure unifies dozens of adapter contracts to deliver real-time, multi-dimensional onchain data. The BDFR system continuously synchronizes price feeds, pool depths, and market metadata with minimal computational overhead. Each datapoint—from token dynamics to indexer feeds—is structured for dynamic caching and scaled through a Kubernetes-powered AI mesh, integrating three distinct machine learning modules for continuous precision calibration. ▪️ Auto-Slippage Detection & Enforcement Slippage is no longer a manual gamble. Hera V3 introduces a simulation-based model for estimating slippage thresholds on a per-route basis. This works seamlessly with both standard ERC20 and tax-fee tokens. Rather than reading contract parameters or relying on external heuristics, our system performs real swap simulations and detects fee logic from the token’s runtime behavior—eliminating dependencies and improving security. ▪️ Real-Time Price Sync & Route Topology Price feeds and swap outputs are no longer loosely coupled. Hera V3 ensures that UI-level data is synchronized in real time with active liquidity layers across DEXs. Every route output shown in the interface reflects the most accurate market state possible. Furthermore, swap routes are now modeled as non-linear, independently fracturable graphs, allowing optimal outcomes without enforcing unnecessarily complex routing chains. ▪️ Interchain Compatibility Layer Hera’s long-standing goal of interchain intelligence is now structurally supported. The entire routing engine, along with all contract layers, has been re-engineered to operate in multichain mode. Smart routing logic can now coordinate data and execution across EVM chains, without burdening intra-chain performance. The communication protocol stack supports simultaneous contract calls across multiple chains, preparing the groundwork for full interchain operability in future iterations. Up until now, most of our work has involved abstract logic and backend engineering—so there hasn't been much visual content to share. But that’s about to change. In the next series of updates, expect more visual demos, components, and live route simulations. Cheers! 🙃

Simple $HERA pitch for non-onchain people. Or for who is new to crypto. **The Future of Decentralized Exchanges** HERA is more than just a DEX aggregator. It’s a sophisticated platform that sources the most favorable trading prices from a network of decentralized exchanges, ensuring users always receive the highest possible value for their tokens. Instead of being limited to the liquidity of a single DEX, HERA aggregates prices across multiple sources, delivering a more efficient and cost-effective trading experience. Our recent tests clearly show that HERA consistently offers better prices than other well-known aggregators like 1inch, Kyberswap, Paraswap, Odos, and Matcha. Even when a small fee is applied, HERA almost always remains the cheapest option; thanks to its ability to consistently find superior routes. What truly sets HERA apart is that it can charge a fee without financially disadvantaging the user. This structural advantage allows the platform to generate sustainable revenue. That revenue is then used to buy back HERA tokens on the open market, creating continuous buy pressure and strengthening the token’s value. The repurchased tokens are redistributed to HERA holders, allowing them to directly benefit from the platform’s growth and success. The better HERA performs, the more volume it attracts, and the more fees it generates. This results in more tokens being bought back and distributed to holders, creating a powerful, self-reinforcing ecosystem where performance directly translates into value for investors. We believe HERA has the potential to compete in market cap with current leaders like 1inch and Jupiter. With the right support and broader adoption, the HERA token could deliver exceptional returns. And this is only the beginning. Once HERA is live on all major EVM chains, the next focus is expansion to Solana. At the moment, Solana faces little serious competition in this space, with Jupiter being the only major player. However, while Jupiter remains relatively minimalist in its functionality, HERA has a significant opportunity to establish dominance through superior technology. Its infrastructure and optimization logic are designed with scalability and precision in mind, making it a compelling alternative for users and protocols on Solana as well. Behind the scenes, the team is already working on the next phase: cross-chain aggregation. This technology enables HERA to combine liquidity across different blockchains within a single swap; giving users access to the best price, even if it exists on another chain. Cross-chain aggregation makes HERA future-proof and positions it as the foundational infrastructure layer for interoperable DeFi. In the near future, HERA will offer: A dynamic, AI-driven routing system that analyzes thousands of liquidity points in real time, delivering the most optimal swap routes with up to 88% less computation time. User- or agent-defined routing preferences allow prioritization of speed, price, or gas efficiency; ideal for high-value swaps. Maximum security is ensured through a separate, transparent contract structure that guarantees a tamper-proof execution process. Interchain routing is now possible, enabled by synchronized contract calls across EVM chains; a fundamental step toward full multi-chain liquidity aggregation. A powerful API layer in HERA V3 allows wallets, bridges, onramps, and other DeFi platforms to natively integrate swap functionality, with built-in revenue-sharing models. Smart slippage detection and real-time data enhance accuracy and safety; slippage is simulated per route instead of estimated, and price data is synced with live DEX liquidity. This is the moment to get in; before the market realizes what HERA truly has under the hood. @HeraAggregator

launched v1 of Profiles. get in discord and let us know what features to add next :)

Hera V3: The first performance tests are in!📜✅ We’ve prepared a script for the highly anticipated comparison report of the pathfinder core, which now has all internal modules completed. The test was conducted on Arbitrum, where we generated random/default routes using major tokens and compared their performance against other protocols. The data is real-time and fetched simultaneously via API. The results aren’t surprising to us, but we’re sure the community will be excited. As we mentioned earlier, the v3 upgrade isn’t just a version bump, it’s a complete overhaul of the pathfinder architecture and communication protocols. It’s now fully trained and packaged with all the necessary data. We’re currently handling the remaining tasks for the official deployment and mainnet release. The hardest (and most exciting) part is over—now we’re left with the seemingly easy but annoying bits, lol. Remember, v3-core is a fundamental product, designed to be configured and deployed across all evm and non-evm chains. Our initial goal remains the same: expand to Metis/Arbitrum first, followed by all major chains. We also want to emphasize that alternatives like Solana and SUI are always on our radar, especially since the new version’s rust compatibility and Solana integration are flawless. Who knows, we might provide a comparison test for that soon too. Wishing everyone a great weekend! 😊

Quick update on the current development progress 👇 We haven’t encountered any issues with the pathfinder or AI modules, functioning perfectly. However, we made multiple changes to the router, execution layer, and some core contracts. A major update focused on ensuring compatibility with arbitrage bots and MEV strategies, which led to several critical improvements. We also implemented adjustments based on the latest Ethereum core updates, which gave us room for further optimization. Mainnet test deployments of the updated contracts have started on Metis, Arbitrum, Ethereum, and Base. We've also integrated new optimization paths into modules related to onchain data flow. While the UI has always been one of the more chaotic areas, we’ve made meaningful progress there as well. We’re now preparing execution tests based on live chain data to ensure offchain computations align with onchain behavior and that performance holds under MEV test conditions. Separately, our other core developer is working on making the Hera core operate as a full MEV engine. While it’s still in R&D, early tests on EVM chains with low gas and sequencer-friendly setups have shown excellent performance. This forked version of the Hera core is being designed as a powerful arbitrage bot with X-to-X routing capability, and its revenue will be directed to the Hera treasury. On the AI side, the AI-Manager is now fully functional. It manages access to AI modules and can actively intervene in route generation using computation data. It’s now been moved to an AWS-packaged structure for optimal performance. Testing is complete and the system is ready for use in side-modules. Lastly, we’ve replaced the language model, which significantly reduced unnecessary processing load. Rust usage in the Pathfinder codebase has increased from 51% to 69%. We’re still building. More to come soon! 🧐

Yesterday’s $CROWN liberation day was cause for much excitement. Attacking a $100bn industry with the advantage of the highest retaining game in web3 and (possibly the world?). Shipping szn.
