Event description
- Helium Foundation announced the passage of HRP 2025-04 and HIP 143 with over 90% community approval, enabling key upgrades like the HIP-103 urban multiplier, Anchor 31 and Solana 2+ integration, banned radio support, and reduced IoT Hotspot onboarding costs, set for deployment the following week.
- HIP 143, decoupling service provider pricing from governance, starts a one-year period on April 3, 2025, aiming to give providers pricing flexibility, a shift from Helium’s previously centralized model that drew criticism for limiting market dynamics, as noted in 2024 Reddit discussions.
- Helium’s upgrades align with its goal to scale IoT and Mobile networks, which have onboarded over 1 million devices since 2021 per helium.com, but the banned radio support may impact rural deployers, a concern raised in prior HIP 103 debates on Reddit.
