Helium IOT is a decentralized, blockchain-based wireless infrastructure project that enables individuals and organizations to deploy and operate wireless networks. The project is built on the Solana Blockchain and uses a token-based system to incentivize participation. The primary token of the network is HNT, while IOT and MOBILE tokens facilitate the LoRaWAN and 5G networks respectively. The IOT token specifically governs the LoRaWAN IOT Subnetworks and is obtained by IOT Hotspots through data transfer proceeds and Proof of Coverage.

Helium IOT operates through a unique consensus algorithm known as Proof-of-Coverage (PoC). This algorithm rewards participants for verifying wireless network coverage. The network allows for the creation and maintenance of a distributed wireless network by incentivizing participants to contribute resources and share the benefits. The Helium Network supports various use cases, including IoT devices through the LoRaWAN network and high-speed mobile connectivity via the 5G network. The network leverages the Solana Blockchain, known for its high scalability, low latency, and robust security.

Helium IOT supports a wide range of use cases, particularly in the realm of IoT devices and high-speed mobile connectivity. The network enables the deployment of wireless networks in various sectors, including agriculture, logistics, smart city applications, and workplace solutions. It also facilitates the tracking of assets, packages, and even pets. The Helium Network's extended coverage lowers entry barriers for IoT deployment and rollouts, helping users in various countries to get their solutions up and running faster. The IOT token, as the Governance token of the LoRaWAN IOT Subnetworks, plays a crucial role in these use cases.

The Helium Network, the foundation of Helium IOT, is a decentralized wireless infrastructure with a global footprint. It continues to attract new users, developers, and organizations, enabling the development of applications and services. As the network expands, it aims to influence the wireless communication landscape and further democratize access to connectivity. The IOT token, integral to the functioning of the LoRaWAN IOT Subnetworks, is obtained by IOT Hotspots, which supports the network's operations.
