Summary

HIP 51: Helium DAO proposed that each communications network built on top of the Helium Network has its own subDAO with its own token and governance. Till now, LoRaWAN subDAO, 5G subDAO, and WiFi subDAO are proposed. They are about communication networks. But another very significant subDAO that should be a next step, is to help build the service market on Helium Network.

For the services on CDN and VPN for example, there would be lots of projects that want to use Helium's Network to help run various services. We think for many Heliums nodes, their bandwidth resources, storage spaces, device performance, and all other idle resources, should be more fully taken used now and in the future.

So here we suggest Helium start an open service list for the projects who have the requirement to use Helium Network. The services which could join the open list need to follow some standards made by the community; And for the nodes of the helium network, they could choose to run any services in the list as their wish, getting extra motivation rewards in return.

We suggest starting the Open-Service subDAO under Helium Network which plays some open and special roles, building a services-supporting market in Helium Network.
