Helium Network (HNT) — how you can benefit

Helium (HNT) is currently building the world’s first wireless peer-to-peer network for the Internet of Things (IoT). What does that mean and how can you benefit from it as an investor?Everyone is talking about the Internet of Things and more and more machines are communicating with each other around the world. Be it the garbage can that asks for emptying by radio, the e-scooter that provides information on the way whether its battery is still working or the air conditioning that automatically adapts to the real weather conditions: Everything should be networked, anywhere, anytime and that as inexpensive as possible, of course.The worldwide turnover of the IoT industry was 110 billion US dollars in 2017 . Forecasts assume that this figure will rise to around 1.6 trillion US dollars by 2025 .Almost all IoT devices need to be constantly connected to the internet. However, current solutions such as cellular communications, WiFi, and Bluetooth are suboptimal, and the 5G network is also struggling with problems. This is because these technologies are often too expensive, too power-hungry, or too limited in their range. This is exactly the problem that the Helium crypto project aims to address.Helium is a decentralized blockchain network for IoT devices. Amir Haleem, Shawn Fanning, and Sean Carey founded the project in 2013. The Helium team wants to build a wireless IoT network that will allow devices around the world to wirelessly connect to the Internet without the need for power-hungry GPS hardware or expensive cellular tariffs.The HNT token is at the center of Helium’s decentralized blockchain network. This can be used for payments and for governance votes within the network. As a result, Helium has created a two-sided market for providers and users who need the Internet for their IoT devices. The project aims to completely decentralize a…
