Helios is a Layer 1 blockchain with bridge-free interoperability, onchain automation, and a unique Interchain Proof of Stake and Reputation (IPoSR) consensus mechanism.
In a space filled with fragmented ecosystems, Helios is offering something fundamentally different: a modular Layer 1 blockchain built specifically for interoperability, automation, and developer sustainability.
At the core of Helios is IPoSR (Interchain Proof of Stake and Reputation). This novel consensus mechanism combines multi-network staking with a performance-based reputation system. Validators are selected based not only on the assets they stake (such as Ethereum, Cosmos, and BNB) but also on their long-term reliability and behavior on the network.
A Blockchain Built for Cross-Chain and AI-Powered Applications
Helios infrastructure supports secure cross-chain communication, dynamic automation, and incentivized development. All without compromising decentralization.
Core features include:
- IPoSR Consensus: Validators earn participation not just through stake, but by building and maintaining a strong on-chain reputation.
- Bridge-Free Interoperability: Native support for secure cross-chain smart contract calls, eliminating reliance on traditional bridges.
- Chronos Tasks: A built-in scheduling system for automated smart contract execution, bots, and AI agents. A Helios onchain action can trigger actions on external blockchains as well.
- Hyperion Modules: Modular extensions that allow nodes to serve as decentralized oracles, cross-chain verifiers, and relayers.
- Developer Revenue Sharing: Developers receive a share of the gas fees generated by the smart contracts they deploy.
Inheriting Security from Multiple Ecosystems
Most blockchains rely on staking a single native token, making network security dependent on one asset and one economy. Helios improves on this by allowing validators to stake assets from multiple chains such as ETH, ATOM, and BNB.
This approach distributes risk and lets Helios inherit the economic security of multiple established ecosystems, creating a more resilient network that isn’t tied to the health of a single asset. Each token has a different weight, dynamically adapted through governance.
Protocol-Level Automation
Helios makes automation easy and native. Through Chronos Tasks, developers can build smart contracts that schedule themselves, respond to external events, or trigger actions across chains, without relying on centralized bots or custom infrastructure.
This is especially valuable for DeFi, governance, and AI-powered agents operating on-chain.
Built-In Developer Incentives
One of the most innovative aspects of Helios is its native revenue sharing model. Developers automatically receive a portion of the gas fees generated by their smart contracts, providing long-term, protocol-level incentives for creating high-quality dApps.
This feature gives developers a consistent, protocol-level way to earn from usage, complementing other revenue models like grants, token launches, or tipping.
Decentralized, Fair, and Scalable by Default
Helios introduces an epoch-based validator rotation system that promotes fairness and scalability. A rotating validator set ensures decentralization while maintaining high throughput and low latency.
Through IPoSR, the network prioritizes high-reputation validators, rewarding consistent performance and community contribution while deterring manipulation by large token holders.
What’s Ahead for Helios
Helios is preparing for an upcoming public testnet launch, with developer documentation, SDKs, and early tooling already in place. Our Helios Grant program is already in place to support early builders: https://hub.helioschain.network/docs/innovate/helios-ecosystem-and-grants/grant-programs
