Helium HNT Wallet v2.6.0: Introducing Governance Participation and Priority Fee Management

📱Helium HNT Wallet v2.6.0 is here! (Android & iOS)

@Community, It's time to update your Helium HNT Wallet to v2.6.0. This release adds two key features for the Helium community:

• Direct participation in Helium Governance and management of locked tokens
• Automatic priority fees to ensure transactions land on Solana

Many users have already been managing their locked token balances via Realms in the in-app browser, so we've added the functionality to natively support locking, unlocking, and delegating your HNT, IOT, and MOBILE balances. This feature mirrors functionality already on-chain but improves the user experience for Wallet App users.

Helium Modular Governance is preparing to launch soon, and the Helium Community will migrate away from Realms during the transition.

Additionally, we've recognized sporadic issues with landing transactions on Solana during brief periods of congestion. To help app users, we've implemented an automatic priority fee management feature that should transparently improve user experience to ensure transactions are executed. If you prefer to avoid paying the increased priority fee, you now have the option to come back later and try again. Today, these priority fees are minimal.

This release also includes several performance-related improvements across the entire application. Things should be much quicker for many users with multiple accounts.

It also includes a few security-related features to help users be reminded to keep their tokens and their 12-word or 24-word phrase secure. No one will ever ask for your 12 or 24-word phrase! You’ll never need to put it into any apps in the Helium ecosystem or directly message it to any individuals. ⚠️

The developers of the Helium ecosystem strongly recommend an upgrade to v2.6.0.🎈
