JAKARTA - On Thursday, September 22, the Helium Foundation announced that it will move its mainnet to the Solana blockchain after a community vote. According to the proposal, the proof-of-coverage mechanism and data transfer will be transferred to Helium further.
Meanwhile, Helium tokens and governance will be moved to the Solana blockchain. As the developer puts it, the benefits of this move will include more original HNT tokens available for a collection of subDAO prizes, more consistent mining, more reliable data transfers, more utilities for HNT tokens and subDAO, and more ecosystem support.
