About Helium (HNT)


What Is Helium (HNT) and How Does It Work?


Helium is a decentralized wireless network that enables low-power Internet of Things (IoT) devices to connect to the internet using community-run Hotspots. It aims to build a global, open-source network for wireless data, removing the need for traditional telecom infrastructure. Helium's native token, HNT, is used to reward participants for providing network coverage and transferring data.

Originally launched on its own blockchain, Helium migrated to the Solana blockchain in April 2023 to enhance scalability and ecosystem interoperability. The network operates through a system called Proof-of-Coverage, where Hotspots earn rewards for verifying their location and coverage by interacting with nearby nodes. As of June 2025, it is one of the largest DePIN projects in the Solana ecosystem.

In addition to HNT, Helium has introduced sub-network tokens like IOT (for LoRaWAN devices) and MOBILE (for 5G), which can be redeemed for HNT. Users can also stake HNT to receive veHNT, a governance token that gives voting rights in Helium Improvement Proposals (HIPs). The network’s architecture is designed to support a variety of wireless protocols and is maintained by the Helium Foundation and Nova Labs.

How Does Helium's Proof-of-Coverage Work?


Helium’s Proof-of-Coverage (PoC) is a unique consensus mechanism designed to verify that Hotspots are accurately providing wireless coverage in specific physical locations. It uses radio waves, rather than internet-based communication, to prove that a Hotspot is genuinely located where it claims to be and is actively contributing to the network.

Here’s how the Helium DePIN network's consensus works:

• Challenger Hotspot: One Hotspot initiates a challenge by sending encrypted data packets (called “beacons”) to another Hotspot nearby.

• Challengee Hotspot: The second Hotspot receives the beacon and broadcasts it using radio signals.

• Witness Hotspots: Other nearby Hotspots detect this broadcast and report it to the network.

If the challenge is successfully verified, meaning multiple Hotspots confirm the transmission through radio frequency, then all participants (challenger, challengee, and witnesses) earn rewards in the form of HNT. This system incentivizes honest and widespread deployment of Hotspots while preventing fraudulent claims of coverage.

Who Created Helium and When Was It Launched?


Helium was co‑founded in 2013 by Amir Haleem, Shawn Fanning (co‑founder of Napster), and Sean Carey. Their vision was to build a decentralized wireless network to support the rapidly expanding IoT space. After years of R&D, Helium introduced its LongFi Hotspots in July 2019, enabling users to deploy IoT coverage hotspots and earn HNT tokens for providing connectivity.

Helium (HNT) Development Timeline & Milestones


• 2013: Helium, Inc. founded by Amir Haleem, Shawn Fanning, and Sean Carey


• July 2019: Launch of LongFi Hotspots and the native HNT token


• August 2020: Introduction of Data Credits (DC) to power network usage and transactions


• 2021: Expansion into 5G; launch of subnetwork structure via HIP‑51, HIP‑52, and HIP‑53 for IOT and MOBILE tokens


• March 2022: Rebranded as Nova Labs; raised ~$200 million in Series D funding


• September 2022: Community approved HIP‑70 to migrate the Helium blockchain to Solana


• April 2023: Completed mainnet migration from Helium’s native chain to Solana


• January 2025: Enacted HIP‑138, making HNT the sole reward token across all Helium sub-networks


What Is the HNT Token Utility?


The HNT token is the native cryptocurrency of the Helium network, used to reward Hotspot operators for providing wireless coverage and transferring IoT or mobile data. It also serves as the base token for network fee conversion through burning HNT to mint Data Credits (DC), which are required for all network transactions. Additionally, users can stake HNT to receive veHNT, granting them voting power in Helium DAO governance decisions. After the HIP 138 upgrade in January 2025, HNT became the unified reward token across all Helium sub-networks, including IoT and Mobile.

To trade HNT tokens on the BingX spot market, simply deposit HNT into your BingX wallet. You can then buy or sell HNT using the HNT/USDT trading pair by placing a market or limit order on the spot interface.

How to Earn IOT Tokens on Helium Network


IOT tokens are rewards given to users who operate LoRaWAN-compatible Hotspots on the Helium Network. These Hotspots help power “The People’s Network” by providing wireless connectivity for low-power IoT devices. Here's how you can earn IOT tokens:

1. Buy a Supported Hotspot: Choose a Helium-compatible LoRaWAN Hotspot from approved vendors (e.g., Bobcat, SenseCAP, Nebra).

2. Register Your Hotspot: Use the Helium Wallet App to register and onboard your Hotspot to the network. You'll also link your Solana wallet to receive IOT token rewards.

3. Deploy Your Hotspot in a Strategic Location: Place your Hotspot in an area with:
• Good line-of-sight
• Minimal interference
• Other nearby Hotspots (but not too close)

4. Start Earning IOT Tokens: Once active, your Hotspot earns IOT for:
 • Providing wireless coverage for IoT devices
 • Witnessing other Hotspots' signals via Proof-of-Coverage
• Relaying real data packets across the network

5. Claim Rewards in Solana Wallet: IOT tokens are distributed to your connected Solana wallet address, usually once every 24 hours. Rewards can be tracked via explorer.helium.com or the Helium Wallet App.

You can redeem IOT for HNT using supported dApps or decentralized exchanges like Jupiter on the Solana blockchain.

How to Stake HNT to Earn veHNT


Staking HNT allows you to earn veHNT (vote-escrowed HNT), which gives you voting power in Helium's decentralized governance system (the Helium DAO). Here’s how to do it:

1. Prepare a Solana-Compatible Wallet: Use a wallet that supports Solana and Helium tokens, such as the Helium Wallet App, Phantom, or Solflare. Make sure it holds HNT tokens on Solana.

2. Visit the Helium Staking Platform: Go to the official Helium staking portal.

3. Connect Your Wallet: Click "Connect Wallet" and choose your preferred Solana wallet to authorize access.

4. Choose Lock-Up Duration: Select a lock period ranging from 1 day to 4 years. The longer the lock, the more veHNT you earn.
• Example: 100 HNT locked for 4 years yields 100 veHNT
• 100 HNT locked for 1 year yields 25 veHNT

5. Confirm and Stake: Review the transaction details and approve the staking via your wallet. You’ll receive a veHNT NFT representing your staked position.

6. Use veHNT for Governance: You can now use your veHNT to vote on Helium Improvement Proposals (HIPs) and help steer the network’s future.

Important: During the lock period, your HNT is non-transferable. Rewards (if any) and voting power are based on your lock duration and participation.

What Blockchain Network Does Helium Operate on?


Helium originally launched on its own custom blockchain in 2019 but officially migrated to the Solana blockchain on April 18, 2023, following community approval of HIP 70. This move enabled greater scalability, faster transaction speeds, lower fees, and deeper integration with the broader Solana DeFi ecosystem. Today, Helium’s core tokens, HNT, IOT, MOBILE, and Data Credits (DC), all operate natively on the Solana network. Users interact with the Helium ecosystem using Solana-compatible wallets, and token rewards are distributed directly through Solana’s infrastructure, making Helium a prominent real-world use case on Solana.

What Are Data Credits (DCs) on Helium Blockchain?


Data Credits (DCs) are a utility token on the Helium network used to pay for all on-chain activities, such as sending data through Hotspots, onboarding new devices, and asserting Hotspot locations. DCs are non-transferable, fixed in value at $0.00001 per DC, and can only be created by burning HNT tokens in a process known as Burn-and-Mint Equilibrium. This mechanism ensures that network usage drives demand for HNT. Data Credits are essential for device owners and enterprises using Helium’s decentralized wireless infrastructure, as they enable secure, cost-efficient microtransactions without needing volatile tokens.

How to Store HNT Tokens Securely


The easiest way to store your HNT tokens securely is by using the BingX exchange wallet. When you buy or deposit HNT on BingX, your tokens are held in a custodial wallet protected by advanced security protocols, including multi-factor authentication, cold storage, and real-time monitoring. This option is ideal for active traders who want fast access to the HNT/USDT spot market, as well as the ability to manage assets alongside other cryptocurrencies within one platform.

For users who prefer self-custody, you can store HNT in a non-custodial Solana-compatible wallet, such as the Helium Wallet App, Phantom, or Solflare. These wallets give you full control over your private keys and support native HNT tokens on the Solana blockchain. If long-term storage and maximum security are your priorities, consider using a hardware wallet like Ledger, which can be connected to Solana apps through wallet bridges. Always back up your seed phrase securely and never share it to avoid losing access to your tokens.

Is Helium (HNT) a Good Investment?


Helium (HNT) stands out as a unique investment opportunity because it powers a real-world decentralized wireless network, offering utility far beyond speculation. By incentivizing users to deploy physical Hotspots that provide IoT and 5G connectivity, Helium taps into the growing demand for decentralized infrastructure. Its Proof-of-Coverage model ensures rewards are based on actual network participation, creating a sustainable ecosystem. The migration to Solana further enhances scalability and interoperability, while the consolidation of reward systems under HNT (via HIP 138) strengthens its role as the primary token across all sub-networks.

Additionally, Helium benefits from strong developer and enterprise backing, including support from Nova Labs, partnerships with T-Mobile, and integrations with major Solana-based DeFi protocols. Its token utility spans governance (via veHNT), payments (through Data Credits), and staking, offering multiple value accrual mechanisms for holders. As adoption of decentralized wireless solutions grows, especially in areas underserved by traditional telecom, Helium’s community-driven model positions HNT as a long-term asset with both functional use and capital appreciation potential.
