Fund An Organizationally Unique Identifier
Data Credits are used to pay for all transmission of data from devices on the Helium Network.
It is worth noting that HNT to DC conversion is irreversible. Data Credits cannot be refunded, exchanged for other tokens, or transferred between wallets.
Several options are available for funding an OUI with Data Credits:
Estimating Usage
Up-to-date usage metrics for all IoT OUIs on the Helium network.

traffic and DC usage on the network, check out the full
Dune Data Credit Dashboard.
Data credits are charged per 1DC per 24b increment for each response of an uplink payload. For a helpful visualization of DC usage of devices for a given period, check out the Data Credit calculator on the DC documentation.
Only uplinks are charged on Helium. Downlinks and join requests are not billed.
