HIP 70 IS HUGE w/ Anatoly Yakovenko & Amir Haleem - Ep. 28
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.
