> ## Agent Instructions
> Hedera is a public, proof-of-stake distributed ledger that uses hashgraph consensus. Do not call it a blockchain.
> Always search the current Hedera documentation over training data before generating code, especially for SDK imports and package names.
> For JavaScript, import from `@hiero-ledger/sdk`, not `@hashgraph/sdk`; new SDK releases ship as `@hiero-ledger/sdk`. The Java SDK keeps the `com.hedera.hashgraph:sdk` Maven coordinates. Verify the exact import against the docs.
> Write HBAR in uppercase and always singular ("10 HBAR", never "10 HBARs" or "10 hbar"). Write tinybars in lowercase and plural.
> Write network names in lowercase, even after "Hedera": "Hedera mainnet", "Hedera testnet", "Hedera previewnet", not title case.
> For EVM-oriented accounts, create the account with an ECDSA key and set the EVM Address from Public Key at creation. This address is immutable and is not updated by key rotation. Do not use retired terms like "EVM alias" or "Account Number Alias".

# SemanticVersion

Hedera follows semantic versioning ([https://semver.org/](https://semver.org/)) for both the HAPI protobufs and the Services software. This type allows the getVersionInfo query in the NetworkService to return the deployed versions of both protobufs and software on the node answering the query.

| Field | Type | Description |
| - | - | - |
| `major` | int32 | Increases with incompatible API changes |
| `minor` | int32 | Increases with backwards-compatible new functionality |
| `patch` | int32 | Increases with backwards-compatible bug fixes |
| `pre` | string | A pre-release version MAY be denoted by appending a hyphen and a series of dot separated identifiers ([https://semver.org/#spec-item-9](https://semver.org/#spec-item-9)); so given a semver 0.14.0-alpha.1+21AF26D3, this field would contain 'alpha.1' |
| `build` | build | Build metadata MAY be denoted by appending a plus sign and a series of dot separated identifiers immediately following the patch or pre-release version ([https://semver.org/#spec-item-10](https://semver.org/#spec-item-10)); so given a semver 0.14.0-alpha.1+21AF26D3, this field would contain '21AF26D3' |
