Summary

This proposal includes a specification of the LoRaWAN Wireless Network Protocol as per the DAO model and L2 implementation outlined in HIP 50.
Summary

In HIP 50: Helium DAOs, we provide a general structure for onboarding new WNPs to the broader Helium Network, with mechanisms in place to ensure that protocol-specific attributes such as proof-of-coverage rules, data credits pricing, and block validation are within control of the emergent WNT DAO.

In this proposal, we specify the implementation of the structure proposed through a detailed onboarding proposal for the LoRaWAN Network. We propose initial configurations of the LoRaWAN economics layer as well as governance mechanisms within the DAO through LoRaWAN (LRW) token voting.
