Helium (HNT) is a cryptocurrency that powers the Helium Network, a decentralized network for low-power, long-range wireless communications. The network is designed to support Internet of Things (IoT) devices and is built on a blockchain that uses a proof-of-coverage consensus mechanism.
One of the key features of the Helium Network is its use of “miners” to build and maintain the network. These miners are responsible for providing coverage for IoT devices, and they are rewarded with HNT for their efforts.
