What is Helium mining? Helium mining is the mechanism that powers the Helium network to provide global wireless technology for Internet-of-Things devices. Helium involves running a hotspot to provide coverage for Internet-of-Things (IoT) devices via the Helium Network. Miners are required to run specialist hardware devices to create wireless connectivity. The hotspots build a decentralized infrastructure of low-powered, long-range wireless networks known as “The People’s Network.” It is an innovative use of blockchain technology that incentivizes the creation and maintenance of a global wirele…
