Helium (HNT) developers are considering moving their network to the Solana (SOL) Blockchain
The core developers of Helium (HNT) want to move the decentralized wireless network for the Internet of Things (IoT) to the high-performance blockchain Solana (SOL).
In a new blog post, the Helium Foundation says that the development team is considering making major changes to the blockchain as users have begun experiencing issues stemming from the network’s rapid growth.
“Over the past months, these have proven to be a challenge for users: reduced PoC activity due to network size and blockchain/validator load and data packet transfer issues due to the complexity of unnecessary handling of data flow and subsequent accounting on the Helium blockchain .”
IN suggestion, developers outline their plan to improve the operating efficiency of Helium. Part of the proposed changes is to migrate the network to a more scalable Layer-1 blockchain, namely Solana.
“With the move to more “oracle-based” activity on the chain, we believe that the simplification allows us to choose a more scalable layer 1 for the Helium community, especially Solana.
Integrating Helium tokens (HNT, DC, IOT and MOBILE, basically) into the Solana ecosystem additionally gives Helium wallet holders access to a variety of applications, governance mechanisms and other tools not available on our sovereign L1.”
The proposal aims to address Helium’s speed, reliability and scalability. The developers also see several other benefits of integrating with Solana given the breadth of the platform’s tools and other resources.
“There are a number of benefits to integrating with the Solana ecosystem, including fast and cheap transactions and native governance primitives, but it also brings a whole host of new developers into our ecosystem.”
