Hedera will upgrade its mainnet to version 0.63 at 17:00 UTC on July 23, 2025. Scheduled maintenance lasts approximately 40 minutes, which can temporarily slow transaction processing across the network.
This update focuses on improved system operations and network performance. However, no changes will be introduced in the execution of HBAR toconomies or smart contracts.
What is an upgrade to Hedera MainNet?
The new version includes three major changes:
Support for non-zero shards and realm IDs in system commands.
Fee configuration throttle. This adds fee limits to management changes.
MerkledB tuning improves node storage efficiency and reduces overhead handling.
These changes are intended to increase the resilience and operational flexibility of developers and node operators. Hedera CLI tools like Yahcli work across custom network partitions.
Simply put, it expands Hedera’s potential for enterprise deployments. Upgrades increase network throughput and reduce ledger sync times.
Does the upgrade affect the HBAR utility?
There are no direct changes to HBAR utilities. Core token functions (transfer, staking, smart contract gas) remain unaffected. The transaction fees and staking mechanisms have also remained unchanged.
Users may have temporary delays or stop transaction processing during the upgrade window.
However, normal operations will resume once maintenance is complete.
HBAR has skyrocketed over 100% this month, rising from $0.15 to $0.28-$0.29 as of July 21st.
Analysts pointed to a bullish technical setup, with a golden cross formed and a strong exchange inflow supporting the movement. Short-term RSI suggests that HBAR could be over-acquired, but broader sentiment remains bullish.
Beincrypto’s latest analysis shows the next resistance between $0.37 and $0.50 if momentum applies.
Will Hedera upgrades have a price impact?
The V0.63 upgrade is a technical maintenance release, not a feature launch or a Toconemics update. It is unlikely to directly drive price action.
However, improvements in Hedera’s stability and reliability could help strengthen investors’ trust, especially after the unstable spikes in July.
If the upgrade proceeds without any problems, reducing technical risks could help you maintain your current price range.
Still, the key moves for HBAR could depend not only on this upgrade, but also on macro sentiment and upcoming ecosystem news.
HBAR has already seen great profits this month. The upgrade may support bullish trends, but it is not a catalyst for further price action.
Traders should monitor the stability of their networks during deployment while monitoring broader market clues for their next move.
