The overwhelming majority of the Helium (HNT) community voted Migrate your wireless network to the Layer 1 blockchain Solana (SOL).
According to available information, The HIP 70 proposal received 6,177 votes (81.41%) in favor of the plan and 1,270 votes against it.
Voting closed early on September 22nd, with approximately 15 million HNT tokens staked during the voting process.
Helium developers say the move to Solana will help scale the network and drive its adoption, instead of spending resources on blockchain administration.
If the proposal is passed, HNT, IOT and MOBILE Helium tokens will be issued on the Solana blockchain. The network will also update the wallet, allowing the user to use his Solana-based wallet for his HNT tokens.
Meanwhile, despite the planned migration to Solana, the developer says Helium’s blockchain history will remain open.
The proposed migration split Helium’s community as some members requested that the network include other blockchain networks in the proposal, reports have revealed.
