About
Helium is a decentralized wireless network where individuals and businesses host small devices called Hotspots to provide cellular and IoT coverage, earning HNT cryptocurrency for every connection made. It aims to replace traditional cell tower infrastructure with a people-owned, community-powered network. Helium also offers a consumer mobile service called Helium Mobile, built on top of this decentralized infrastructure.
Problem
Legacy telecom infrastructure is slow, expensive, and cannot scale fast enough to meet the exploding demand for connectivity from AI, streaming, and smart devices.
For
individuals and businesses who want to host wireless hotspots, earn cryptocurrency, or get affordable mobile connectivity
How it works
Users host small Hotspot devices that provide wireless coverage in their area, earn HNT tokens for every connection served, and collectively form a decentralized global wireless network.
