• Helium (HNT) has seen a price increase of over 10%, rising from $6.67 to $7.48.
  • The rally is driven by two important proposals, HIP 130 and HIP 131, boosting optimism for HNT’s future.

Amidst a global market downturn, Helium (HNT) is changing the trend and showing significant gains. According to CoinMarketCap, the price of HNT surged over 12.29%, moving from $6.67 to a recent high of $7.49, with the upward momentum continuing.

This rally comes with Helium’s official announcement of the approved proposals, HIP 130 and HIP 131, related to Helium Mobile. HIP 130 suggests expanding the network by allowing non-certified hotspots that use passpoint authentication. These new hotspots will function similarly to the original Helium devices, but they’ll transmit pre-paid data, with users earning MOBILE tokens , part of the Helium ecosystem.

HIP 131, which builds on previous anti-gaming action, introduces a system to safeguard the network’s reward distribution. The proposal limits Oracle Hex boosts in certain areas, reducing the rewards multiplier for hotspots involved in suspicious activity. To regain the boost, these hotspots must submit accurate Call Detail Records (CDRs).
