About HNT
Helium (HNT) is a decentralized wireless network that enables devices to connect to the Internet of Things (IoT) through a unique peer-to-peer infrastructure. Using a combination of blockchain and radio technology, Helium’s decentralized network, known as ‘The People’s Network,’ allows users to earn HNT by deploying Hotspots that provide low-power network coverage. This model incentivizes the creation of a vast and secure wireless network for IoT applications. Helium’s network, based on the Proof of Coverage consensus mechanism, supports a variety of IoT devices and aims to transform connectivity for smart cities and decentralized applications. Users can access real-time HNT prices, historical trends, and the latest updates on our Helium Markets page, helping them stay informed about this innovative IoT network.
