Description
Helium creates decentralized physical infrastructure through community-operated wireless hotspots on the Solana blockchain. The protocol supports both LoRaWAN-based sensor networks and cellular connectivity through 5G/CBRS technology. This distributed model allows individuals and organizations to expand wireless coverage while ensuring sustainable network growth through economic incentives. The system maintains predictable, USD-denominated costs for data transfer while rewarding network operators for providing and validating coverage.Grant Funding
