Building the Network: Anyone with a Helium Hotspot can earn HNT by building the Helium Network and connecting nearby devices. The more devices that connect, the more HNT you can earn.
Using the Network: To use the Helium Network, HNT gets burned. That means every time devices send data, HNT is removed from circulation. The more the Helium Network is used, the more HNT is burned.
HNT is the currency for connectivity, the economic engine powering the future of global connectivity. Instead of a handful of corporations controlling a $3 trillion telecom industry, HNT flips the model on its head, giving anyone the ability to own a piece of it and participate in building Helium.
Helium is a global, decentralized network redefining how the world connects by enabling individuals to build and own wireless infrastructure. Anyone can deploy devices called Hotspots to provide coverage, earn rewards in HNT, and contribute to a growing network. By putting power into the hands of the people and challenging the traditional telco model, Helium is making connectivity more affordable, accessible, and community-driven than ever before.
Network Type: Decentralized Physical Infrastructure (DePIN)
Who Uses HNT: Major telecom carriers, global enterprises, local businesses, and everyday consumers all rely on HNT to power affordable, open connectivity.
Blockchain: Built on Solana, the most battle-tested public blockchain for scalability, low fees, and fast transactions.
