Update timeline

  1. investigating Apr 08, 2025, 07:07 PM UTC

    The core developers are investigating an outage in Hotspot rewards claiming in the Helium Wallet app. This appears to be due to a downstream dependency on an infrastructure provider that helps index Helium data for clients like the Helium Wallet.

  2. identified Apr 08, 2025, 09:29 PM UTC

    Core developers have identified the downstream infrastructure provider and while they are working on a fix, we are also applying some mitigation. This will require an upgrade of the Helium Wallet app. We are starting the process to update metadata, the app, and submit it to the App Stores for review.

  3. resolved Apr 08, 2025, 11:15 PM UTC

    The downstream storage provider has resolved their outage and we are closing this issue. That said, a new version of the Helium Wallet app will be released in the next 24 hours (assuming app store reviews are expedited) that should prevent this particular impact in the future.
