Helium Improvement Proposals

"How a bill becomes a law"

More details on process and how to participate can be found in HIP7, "A Process For Managing Helium Improvement Proposals".

If you have questions or feedback, please ask in #hip-open-discussion in the community Discord. Each proposal in discussion also has its own dedicated channel.

Looking for HIP19 hotspot manufacturer applications? Those have moved to their own dedicated repository: dewi-alliance/hotspot-manufacturers
