By offering blockchain-based tokens, Helium incentivizes anyone to own a Hotspot and provide wireless coverage—so the network belongs to participants, not a single company. A network can be scaled much faster and more economically than if a single company tried to build out infrastructure.

We have never seen energy technologies like solar and wind before. For the first time in history, we can manufacture the generation of energy. Once built, solar and wind equipment cost very little to operate. In other words, they are basically zero marginal cost electron sources.

Take solar since 1976. On average, module deployed capacity grew almost 40% per year while costs have fallen over 12% per year.

We believe that data is the most valuable commodity of the modern era. Users deserve to be compensated for the value they create with their data. Users deserve governance over how their data is used. DataDAOs will help make this vision a reality.
