Helium is set to launch their migration to a new blockchain - the Solana network - on April 18th. This move was enthusiastically welcomed by the community, given the Solana network's many scalability, low transaction cost, and high-performance features. Among these features are a high transaction throughput and an energy-efficient consensus process.

This upgrade gives HNT holders access to many features that weren't available before, such as Decentralized Finance (DeFi), Non-Fungible Tokens (NFTs), and Smart Contract capabilities.

The anticipation of this migration has already caused activity in the Helium market, with over $2.2 million worth of HNT tokens exchanged in the past 24 hours. Similarly, the rise of SOL, the top 50 cryptocurrency by market value, by 11% in a day showed exactly how well the market is responding to the news of the blockchain migration.

The Helium team believe that by migrating to Solana they're future-proofing their network, as the groundbreaking features of the Solana platform ensure that the network is better equipped than ever to adapt to the rapidly-evolving cryptocurrency market. This upgrade is great for both HNT holders, and for the market in general, and will likely open the door to new possibilities for those seeking to get involved in the cryptocurrency market.
