Build amazing connected solutions on the world's largest decentralized wireless network.

Introduction

Helium is a global, distributed network of Hotspots that create public, long-range wireless coverage for LoRaWAN-enabled IoT devices and cellular devices. LoRaWAN™ Hotspots produce and are compensated in IOT, the native cryptocurrency of the Helium blockchain. The Helium blockchain is a new, open-source, public blockchain created entirely to incentivize the creation of physical, decentralized wireless networks. Today, the Helium IoT Network, and its hundreds of thousands of Hotspots, provide access to the largest LoRaWAN Network in the world.
