Along with the onchain, data are upgrades to the voter stake registry, SPL Governance UI (Realms) that support Helium-style voting, which was added by Pyth price oracle to smart contracts for DC cost.

This means that rewards and network transfers would be retained The Foundation encouraged users to use the Helium wallet for smoother transition and transactions.
