The Hedera Account Service (HAS) System Contract is accessible at address 0x16a on the Hedera network. This contract interface introduces a new account proxy contract to interact with other contracts for functionality such as HBAR allowances. It enables querying and granting HBAR approval to a spender account from within smart contracts, allowing developers to grant, retrieve, and manage HBAR allowances directly in their code. Additionally, HAS can verify whether a given address (Hedera account or EVM address) is authorized based on a provided message hash and signature through the isAuthorizedRaw method.
