Helium is a IoT (Internet of Things) network built on blockchain technology. Hundreds of thousands of hotspots span the globe in order to provide coverage and earn HNT for their efforts. HNT is rewarded or “mined” through a process that validates location and connections (Proof of Coverage), unlike most PoW (Proof of Work) cryptocurrency mining which rewards people for using expensive hardware to validate a consensus by solving equations in order to prevent gaming of the system.
PoC on the Helium network verifies that hotspots are in the locations they claim to be in and that they are providing the coverage that they report.
