Helium Improvement Proposals (HIPs) serve as the primary mechanism for enacting changes within the Helium Network, akin to legislative bills. The process for managing these proposals is detailed in HIP 7, which outlines how stakeholders can participate in discussions, propose modifications, and provide feedback through designated forums. The repository hosts an index of proposals, each with a unique ID, title, and status, which can range from “In Discussion” to “Deployed.” Originally including applications for HIP19 hotspot manufacturers, these have been relocated to a specific repository under dewi-alliance/hotspot-manufacturers. This structured approach ensures transparent governance and facilitates community-driven evolution of the Helium ecosystem.
