What is Helium?
The People’s Network.
Powered by the Helium Blockchain, the People’s Network is the world’s fastest-growing wireless network ever.
Hotspots provide miles of low-power wireless network coverage for millions of devices around you. When you install a hotspot in your home or office window you earn a new cryptocurrency, HNT.
Participants earn HNT by mining and building coverage.
Proof of coverage:
The Helium blockchain uses “Proof of Coverage” to verify that Hotspots are located where they claim. Hotspots on the network are randomly and automatically assigned Proof-of-Coverage tests to complete. Passing and witnessing tests earn HNT.
Relay Divide Data:
Hotspots earn HNT for transferring device data over the network. The more data a Hotspot transfers, the more it earns.
