However, the developers of the network recently proposed a migration to Solana (SOL). Many members of the community tagged a bad idea because of the history of Solana with network outages.
As per the data from Helium explorer, besides all issues, Helium has released a 5G network that targets smartphones and laptops with more than 3500 node operators.
A developer further revealed about the proposed migration to Solana as it would benefit the network and lead to more adoption and rewards for hotspot owners. “Removal of the staked validator reward also returns the full 6.85% of HNT emissions back to the rewards pool, benefitting Hotspot owners on all subDAOs. In the first year alone, this is estimated to be over 2 million more HNT rewards.”
