Amir Haleem: Helium – The People's Wireless Network
Manage episode 322295251 series 1652309
Helium is a global, distributed network of long-range wireless coverage hotspots for Internet of Things (IoT) devices, powered by the Helium blockchain. Community run hotspots create 'The People’s Network' and they are rewarded with $HNT, the native cryptocurrency of the network, through the Proof-of-Coverage mechanism. Helium has managed to build the largest P2P network with over 600,000 hotspots and is now starting to deploy other networks like a 5g cellular network.
We were joined by Founder and CEO of Helium, Amir Haleem, to chat about how Helium works and the most interesting use cases, how the Proof-of-Coverage mechanism allows the community to participate, and the road ahead for the network.
Topics covered in this episode:
- What is a wireless network and what makes them so interesting
- The objective of Helium
- The use cases Amir is most interested in
- How cellular networks are utilized
- Helium and censorship resistance
- The architecture of the Helium Network
- Proof-of-coverage
- The HNT and Data Credit tokens
- The possibility of Helium becoming interoperable and hosting smart contracts
- The biggest challenges in Helium's future
