Helius is the developer platform for social impact — production-grade APIs, a Proof-of-Impact blockchain, and open-source tools that matter.
Everything needed to deploy social-impact applications on Solana — from raw RPC to a full Proof-of-Impact consensus layer.
Production-grade Solana RPC, DAS, webhooks, and real-time streams. Zero cold starts. Built for builders who ship fast.
The world's first Proof-of-Impact blockchain — earn HLS tokens by doing measurable good in the world, verified on-chain.
Every tool we build, we open. Transparent infrastructure, community-driven roadmaps, and MIT-licensed primitives anyone can extend.
One API key unlocks the full Solana stack — RPCs, NFT metadata, transaction history, webhooks, and AI-ready agent endpoints.
import { HeliusClient } from '@helius/sdk'; // Initialize with your API key const helius = new HeliusClient({ apiKey: process.env.HELIUS_KEY, network: 'mainnet-beta', }); // Submit a Proof-of-Impact action const impact = await helius.impact.submit({ type: 'community_cleanup', lat: 18.2208, lng: -63.0686, evidence: imageHash, wallet: userPublicKey, }); // Real-time reward stream helius.stream.transactions(wallet, tx => { if (tx.type === 'HLS_REWARD') { console.log(`Earned ${tx.amount} HLS`); } });
In 2026, Hashim Ruan traveled to Japan for the Tech for Impact Summit — a gathering of builders, technologists, and social innovators from across the world who believe technology should serve humanity, not the other way around.
Walking through Tokyo between sessions, something clicked. Japan doesn't just build technology — it infuses it with purpose. From the craftsmanship of a sushi chef to the precision of a Shinkansen, there is a word for this alignment: Kokorozashi (志) — your heart's deepest direction. Your unwavering life mission.
"I realized Helius and Japan have always had something in common. We both build technology aligned with life — not against it. The summit confirmed what we already believed: impact is the only metric that truly matters."
What Hashim learned at the Tech for Impact Summit is now woven into Helius's core. The Proof-of-Impact blockchain. The HLS token. The API platform. Every endpoint is designed to reward real-world good — technology that doesn't just compute, but contributes.
Helius intends to incorporate everything learned in Japan with its founding value: building technology aligned with life. We want to help every developer, every community, every person find their Kokorozashi.
Olo is Helius Network's AI — built to design businesses, research the globe, visualize databases, and build with you in real time. She has a voice, a personality, and a mission. Kokorozashi in action.
The Helius Chain turns real-world actions into on-chain value. Every cleanup, every catch, every community hour — verified, immutable, rewarded.
Every critical component of Helius is publicly available. Fork it, extend it, deploy it.
Every action matters. Every validator strengthens the chain. Join the humans proving that technology and impact can be one and the same.
