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

LIVE: 10,000 Expansion Zones in Helium World 🌎. Places carriers have flagged for more coverage, where people are experiencing dropped calls & lost signal. Griffith Observatory. The Guggenheim. Shopping centers. And more. Helium closes these gaps. No carrier capex required.

Reminder: Major carriers use Helium. Not just for coverage, but for the data behind it. Helium pioneered real-time Wi-Fi quality metrics, giving carriers the visibility to turn offload into informed, converged connectivity. fierce-network.com/newswire/…

✅ Let’s go! Helium closing 10k coverage gaps with community hotspots. Great move for better connectivity everywhere🎈🛜📲

Mail call from @helium Thank you 💪🏾 solana:hntyVP6YFm1Hg25TN9WGLqM12b8TQmcknKrdu1oxWux

There's a lot of speculation in the air right now. We are not going to spend energy chasing it when we have a calendar full of calls with carriers and partners that are paying customers of this Network. We are spending our time building tangible things. What's real is the millions of people using this Network every day and carriers running traffic through hotspots deployed from community. What's also real is our expansion beyond coverage into a new intelligence layer carriers have been asking for. I came to @helium because it's building the thing carriers need right now and can't build for themselves, and that demand is only getting stronger. The proposal we published resources this next era, including operations through this transition, in a public on-chain vault with hardcoded limits and community oversight. Every outflow is observable. Anything else is hearsay. We're not slowing down. We're accelerating. Our next live Q&A is coming next week, details soon. Keep the questions coming. We are here for it.

The telco buildout is slowing. The need for connectivity isn't. Helium's people-powered network is meeting demand more efficiently, more affordably, at scale. The gap is the opportunity. Read more 👇 blog.helium.com/helium-rises…

Satellite benefits mobile users under the open sky... But 80% of mobile data is used indoors, & demand is 1,000x higher in dense urban areas (where satellite struggles to keep up). Helium meets that demand with Hotspots or businesses converting their Wi-Fi through Helium Plus.

🚨 New Location 🚨 🎵📡 Millan Music is now live on the @helium Network. While kids learn music, parents stay connected scrolling, streaming, working, and browsing. Real people. Real data. Real network usage. This is how community-owned wireless gets built. 🚀

Wi-Fi Offload Market (Catalyst #1) 6G bill is coming while 5G is still being paid - North America operators spent $300B in 5G CAPEX between 2020-2025 - In 2022 telco spent 26.9% of their revenue in telco infrastructure capex. In 2024 that spend dropped to 22.9%. The trend is downwards YoY - Based on data traffic growth, the 6G infrastructure CAPEX ramp is supposed to start in 2040 with an initial $30B and a 37.6% CAGR - Why? $100k–$500k per 5G base station, and 6G's higher bands reach shorter, so it needs more of them. There is a gap: the 6G bill arrives while 5G monetization still lags The solution: an asset-light, offloaded capacity, aka Wi-Fi offload @helium is inevitable

Carriers are pulling back on infrastructure spend. But demand for mobile coverage is not slowing down. The Helium Network was created for exactly this moment: real connectivity, without massive capex. Mile-High Wi-Fi in Denver is the perfect example of the Helium model in action. The IT firm helps businesses address common connectivity problems: terrible indoor cell coverage, an unreliable guest network, and dead zones staff just works around. Then they convince those businesses to put their existing Wi-Fi to work on the Helium Network. Now, Mile-High operates ~200 locations with Helium Plus and 20 Hotspots deployed across Denver. No carrier rollout. No massive infrastructure deal. Just a local IT firm solving real connectivity problems and growing the Helium Network one venue at a time.

Tomorrow, June 10, at 9am PT / 12pm ET we're hosting a Town Hall with @didiomario and team to discuss the growth trajectory for Helium and the proposal to support it 🗓️ Drop your questions: ama.helium.com/7qvzr9 Join the conversation: discord.gg/helium Reminder that you can find the full proposal here: github.com/helium/HIP/blob/m… Brief explainer here: helium.com/proposal See you there!

Weekly Expansion Zone drop 🔥. More than 5,000 Zones have been added to world.helium.com 👀. These are where carriers need coverage most from the Helium Network. Pick an Expansion Zone, deploy your Hotspot or convert your Wi-Fi through helium.com/plus.
