HNT is the economic engine powering the future of global connectivity. Instead of a handful of corporations controlling a $3 trillion telecom industry, HNT flips the model on its head – giving anyone the ability to own a piece of it and participate in building the Helium Network.
Who uses HNT?

The Helium Breakdown
How does HNT work?

Anyone with a Helium Hotspot can earn HNT by building the Helium Network and connecting nearby devices, such as phones. The more devices that connect, the more HNT you can earn.

To use the Helium Network, HNT gets burned. That means every time devices send data, HNT is removed from circulation. The more the Helium Network is used, the more HNT is burned.
Tokenomics
HNT was launched with the Helium Network in 2019. There was no pre-mine.
HNT follows a predictable 2-year halving schedule, reducing emissions over time.
Hard Cap
HNT is currently deflationary, with a hard cap of 223M HNT.
Data Demand
