Today begins the next era of the Helium Network. We're live now with a leadership update, a refreshed vision, and a governance proposal for the community to decide on. Watch: x.com/i/broadcasts/1jGXggynk… Mario Di Dio (@didiomario) is stepping in as CEO and our founder, Amir Haleem (@amirhaleem), is moving to Chairman after over a decade building Helium from an idea into a Network millions connect through every day. Read the full story: blog.helium.com/the-next-era… Wireless is a trillion-dollar industry that’s cutting spend while demand keeps climbing. Indoor coverage is spotty, dense areas lack redundancy, and emergency services can't hop between networks. Helium is rebuilding it as an intelligent global infrastructure platform. A once-in-a-generation shift. With our consumer business in good hands at Noble Mobile, Helium can focus fully on the bigger opportunity: our Network business. Serving several carriers and growing, it carries verified traffic for millions, burns $HNT based on use, and is owned by those who deploy it. Today we're publishing a governance proposal to capitalize the opportunity, shift to utility-based rewards, support deployers with a floor, and add a community-elected oversight council. Read it in full: github.com/helium/HIP/blob/m… Shorter explainer here: helium.com/proposal This is a community decision, and we want the hard questions. Join Mario live now, then a Q&A at 3pm ET, with more sessions to follow. We'll be in Discord throughout: discord.gg/helium

Shared infrastructure represents a huge capital pivot for the 150 year old telco industry. And it brings down costs for carriers while improving service for consumers. Helium is driving the change in partnership with some of the biggest players in wireless.

Thanks to Helium, the City of Redondo Beach in California just solved a years-long connectivity dead zone at its pier without a single new tower. 1M+ visitors a year. Near-zero cell coverage. Not because the technology didn't exist, but because the traditional model for building coverage makes problems like this too expensive and too slow to fix. A local deployer saw the gap, deployed Helium coverage, now thousands of people connect through the Network daily. No towers. No massive upfront buildout. Locally owned and earned from the traffic it carries. That's what happens when you distribute infrastructure to the people who see the gaps firsthand. Read the news 🔗⤵️ helium.com/blog/redondobeach…
