The Hotspot - Helium Network & Blockchain Podcast

Hivemapper CEO Ariel Seidman joins me to discuss one of the fastest-growing users of the Helium network, and explains how his long history in the mapping industry resulted in a Helium-like token model that quickly led to exponential dashcam adoption with drivers all over the world.

An all-star cast of Helium community members including Nik Hawks (gristleking), Ed Ballou, Winston Lazar and Gary from Australia join me to reflect on the network's current issues and explore the boundless opportunities that most are overlooking.

A discussion with founders and foundation members of Solana and Helium about HIP 70, the radical proposal to scale the Helium network. I moderate the panel and ask the community's most burning questions about what will change.

This is the most honest and compelling talk about HIP 70 yet, going deep into the root causes of why the Nova team thinks this proposal needs to happen.

HIP 70 is a game changer for the scalability of the Helium Network. This episode is the ultimate educational resource about HIP 70, with commentary from both Helium founder Amir Haleem and Solana founder Anatoly Yakovenko, as well as the Nova Labs core dev team.

Helium DAO (HIP 51) is a proposal for a new, more flexible architecture to enable the Helium network's future growth. HIP 52-53 are the proposals for the IoT and Mobile subDAOs that fit under this umbrella.

In this episode, the authors of HIP 51, James Fayal, Abhay Kumar, and Tushar Jain, as well as Nova Labs CEO Amir Haleem, join for a live discussion to answer the community's questions about these wide-reaching improvements.
