Transaction Signing Requirements
  • If an admin key is updated, the transaction must be signed by the pre-update admin key and post-update admin key.
  • If the admin key was set during the creation of the topic, the admin key must sign the transaction to update any of the topic's properties
  • If no adminKey was defined during the creation of the topic, you can only extend the expirationTime.
Transaction Fees
  • Please see the transaction and query fees table for the base transaction fee
  • Please use the Hedera fee estimator to estimate your transaction fee cost
