Non-fungible tokens (NFTs): Hedera allows users to create and manage NFTs on the Hedera network. NFTs are unique digital assets that can be used to represent ownership of items such as digital art, collectibles, and in-game items.

Smart contracts: Hedera supports smart contracts, which are self-executing contracts that are stored on the blockchain. Smart contracts can be used to automate a wide range of transactions, such as asset transfers, financial agreements, and voting systems.
Tokenization: Hedera allows users to create and manage custom tokens on the Hedera network. These tokens can be used for a variety of purposes, such as representing assets, raising capital, and rewarding users.
