A Revolutionary Blockchain
Built from the ground up, the Helium Blockchain powers the network and serves as the underlying technology for HNT.
The blockchain acts as a ‘cryptographic notary‘ since transaction data from devices including connectivity time, and the location is added to the blockchain and is immutable, inspectable, and censor-resistant.

Proof-of-Coverage
Proof-of-Coverage is a unique work algorithm that uses radio waves to validate Hotspots are providing legitimate wireless coverage.
For this validation work, Hotspots earn HNT by verifying network transactions, adding new blocks to the blockchain, and performing other tasks.
