Hedera Plans Mainnet Upgrade to Version 0.63 With Potential Network Delays, HBAR Price Impact Uncertain

Key Points

1. The upgrade includes support for non-zero shard and realm IDs, fee configuration throttling, and improvements to MerkleDB for better storage efficiency.

2. Tools like Hedera CLI (yahcli) will support custom network partitions, aiding complex enterprise environments.

3. The upgrade does not modify HBAR's core functionalities but may cause temporary delays during the 40-minute maintenance window.

4. HBAR's recent price surge (over 100% in July 2025) is attributed to broader market trends, not the upgrade.

5. The upgrade is unlikely to directly impact HBAR's price but may improve network stability and long-term growth prospects.
