Helium has a vision: the world’s first people’s network of the IoT and 5G. This is implemented through helium blockchain-powered hotspots, which connect devices to helium blockchain technology. Hotspot owners who connect the Helium Network (HNT) are rewarded with Helium coins and generate passive income.
It’s like using Google. Google connects the world with information using advanced technology and people are able to learn whatever they want with a click of a button. That’s almost how Helium miners feel.
Helium is a decentralized system that connects people, devices, and businesses with their helium hotspots. The helium protocol is the core technology on which the helium blockchain is built. The helium protocol ensures the HNT is fully decentralized, peer-to-peer and enables IoT devices to join the helium blockchain without human intervention. It facilitates device discovery as well as ad hoc and persistent mesh networks with a range of helium connectivity solutions.
