Helium mining is the process of providing wireless coverage for the Helium Network, a decentralized network designed to support Internet of Things (IoT) devices. Participants, known as helium miners, deploy helium mining hotspots to contribute to the network’s coverage and are rewarded with tokens. Helium is “a global, distributed network of Hotspots that create public, long-range wireless coverage for LoRaWAN-enabled IoT devices and cellular devices”.
The Helium Network and Helium Mining Hotspots
Launch Date: 2019
Mission: To create a decentralized, open-source, accessible, and secure wireless network.
Coverage: Helium miners have deployed almost one million Hotspots in over 77,000 towns and cities across 192 countries.
Helium Mining Hotspots: Devices like the bobcat miner, linxdot, rak miner, and nebra helium miner are popular helium hotspot miners used to mine HNT tokens.
