FAQ
Helium is a global, decentralized network enabling individuals to build and operate wireless infrastructure for mobile cellular traffic and the Internet of Things (IoT). Participants deploy Hotspots, plug-and-play devices that act as miniature cell towers, to provide coverage and earn rewards in HNT. The Helium Network offers a new approach to connectivity by distributing infrastructure ownership and incentivizing participation, creating a model that is more cost-effective and community-driven than the traditional telecom industry.
Helium operates through a network of Hotspots, which are a combination of a wireless gateway and a blockchain transaction processing device. Each Hotspot provides network coverage over a certain radius and processes transactions involving Helium's native token, HNT. The network operates on a proof-of-coverage consensus algorithm based on the HoneyBadger BFT protocol, which allows nodes in a network to reach consensus even when connection quality varies. Users pay transaction fees in a separate token called Data Credits, which are non-exchangeable and tied to individual users. This unique consensus mechanism, known as proof-of-coverage (PoC), aims to reward users for contributing to transaction processing and ensuring network stability.
