Hedera Launches AI Studio, an Open-Source Toolkit for Building Trusted AI Applications

Hedera, the public distributed ledger platform, announced the launch of AI Studio, an open-source toolkit for building trusted artificial intelligence (AI) applications

Public distributed ledger platform Hedera announced the launch of AI Studio, an open-source toolkit for building trusted artificial intelligence (AI) applications on its network, during an event in Toronto on May 14.

The modular platform allows developers and enterprises to build intelligent systems with task automation, AI-driven tokenization, and auditable communication between agents using natural language or simple commands.

According to Hashgraph’s Senior Product Manager, Ty Smith, the toolkit addresses the critical aspect of AI reliability by anchoring workflows in Hedera’s immutable timestamping and fair-ordering consensus mechanisms.

“Data without trust is just noise,” Smith said, highlighting how AI Studio incorporates transparency into every tier of development.

Key components of the toolkit include the ElizaOS Plugin, facilitating natural language interaction with the Hedera network; the Hedera Agent Kit, a Javascript-compatible SDK for developing agents; OpenConvAI (HCS-10), a protocol for decentralized messaging between agents; and the MCP Server, connecting AI agents to external data sources.

The team explained to Bitcoin.com News that the studio leverages Hedera Consensus Service (HCS) for tamper-proof logging of all relevant data and Hedera Token Service (HTS) for standardizing transactions, ensuring compliance and auditability from any regulator.

Moreover, Hedera’s carbon-negative infrastructure and fixed low-cost transactions aim to meet sustainability and economic demands for scalable AI systems. Its governance by the decentralized Hedera Council and hashgraph consensus algorithm underpin security, the company stated.

Shaw Walters, Founder of Eliza Labs, appreciated Hedera’s “execution-oriented” approach and the integration of its Eliza AI Agentic Framework. This framework, designed for coordinating and deploying intelligent agents across blockchain environments, is now part of the Hedera Agent Kit.

“We’re excited to see how developers will use the building blocks of the ElizaOS to create groundbreaking use cases,” said Walters.

By lowering technical hurdles, AI Studio invites developers to build trusted and impactful AI applications with real-time accountability, shaping the future of responsible technology.
