Sounds good in principal. More info on potential interim rewards to 5G hotspot owners would be beneficial for those thinking to still get in. It also allows for less surprises for existing owners. |

@wolfenhawke Hi, there will be no delay, skip, stop, etc of MOBILE rewards. This HIP simply defines where the rewards are coming from. Today, we have a pre-mined amount of MOBILE that essentially sits in a treasury and that is where MOBILE hotspot owners are rewarded from. That pre-mine will run out and is set to run out on February 1st. The next steps to ensure hotspot owners continue to receive rewards is either fill the pre-mine again or begin minting. This HIP proposes to begin minting. So this HIP is proposed to ensure you see no delay, pause, stop, skip, etc in MOBILE rewards. There should be no surprises for existing owners, and they should see no change in rewards. |

This has been implemented. Please see contracts on the Solana blockchain or visit this Repo: https://github.com/helium/helium-program-library. |

HIP 75: MOBILE PoC - Initiate Programmatic Minting with an Updated Emissions Curve
Summary
On November 11th, the Foundation announced the shifts in the timelines related to the Solana migration and the necessary extension of the Genesis period to accommodate the move without halting MOBILE rewarding of 5G Hotspot Owners.
Since the migration to Solana requires more time and the current balance of pre-mind MOBILE tokens in the Treasury is approximately 1.5B, which will last only until February 1st, this HIP is urgent and necessary to prevent the MOBILE rewarding halt.
This HIP proposes to un-tie programmatic minting from Solana migration and launch a simplified version on the Helium Blockchain. Additionally, it suggests adjusting the emissions curve to accommodate changes in the timelines.
Motivation
Moving to Solana, while instrumental to the long-term viability of the Helium network, requires careful planning, implementation, and coordination between various parties and is something that cannot be rushed. As of now, the timeline for the launch has shifted to the end of February and remains an unconfirmed date. This shift in the migration timeline challenges the continuous rewarding of 5G Hotspot Owners. The current extension of the Genesis period, when the rewards come from the pre-mined pool of MOBILE tokens, ends on February 1st, 2023.
As a solution, this HIP proposes to un-gate the evolution of MOBILE PoC from Solana migration by initiating programmatic minting of MOBILE tokens using Helium L1 blockchain starting February 1st, 2023.
Furthermore, given the iterative approach for evolving the PoC adopted by HIP 74, it is evident that it may take a series of HIPs and a longer than initially expected period of time to ensure that the proof of coverage algorithm used by MOBILE subDAO is sufficiently smart and secure to drive useful coverage. As such, we propose to alter the programmatic emissions curve, initially approved in HIP 53, to make it less inflationary and allow more time for MOBILE POC to evolve.
