This page has not been fully updated to represent the latest state of the Helium Network following the migration to Solana on April 18, 2023.
The Helium Blockchain
The Helium Blockchain is a new blockchain built from the ground up to incentivize the creation of decentralized, public wireless networks.
Introduction
The Helium Blockchain is based on a new, novel work algorithm called Proof of Coverage (PoC), and rewards miners in $HNT, the native token of the Helium blockchain. Officially launched on July 29, 2019, the Helium Blockchain powers the largest, public, decentralized LoRaWAN Network in the world.
