Decentralized peer-to-peer wireless network for IoT

About Helium

Helium creates a decentralized wireless network specifically for Internet of Things (IoT) devices, such as smart collars and sensors. Their network operates on a peer-to-peer model, allowing devices to communicate without relying on traditional cellular plans. Users can purchase and set up IoT hotspots that contribute to the network's coverage, and in return, they earn Helium's cryptocurrency, HNT. This approach not only reduces costs for businesses and developers needing reliable connectivity for their IoT devices but also incentivizes users to expand the network. Helium stands out from competitors by offering a community-driven solution that combines hardware and blockchain technology, aiming to make IoT connectivity more accessible and efficient.
