Here's what to know:
The Helium decentralized machine network simplifies connecting anything to the internet through a new combination of physical blockchain, wireless network, and open-source software.
1️⃣ Who is Helium?
Helium was founded in 2013 with a mission to make it easier to build connected products. We are backed by Khosla Ventures, Google Ventures, and other top VCs in the world.
2️⃣ What's a Gateway?
Gateways are physical hardware that can 🔨mine tokens and create network coverage.
3️⃣ How much does it cost to run a Gateway?
Bitcoin miners consume a lot of energy for very little return. We expect the Gateway to use as much electricity as an LED light bulb💡
4️⃣ How do I buy a Gateway?
Online pre-orders will be announced in the near future. Gateways will be offered at $495.

5️⃣ How do I earn tokens?
Tokens can be earned in a number of ways. Gateway operators earn tokens by mining new blocks and being paid by machines. Machines pay Gateways for access to and from the internet. Mining is automatic; leaving your Gateway on and providing network coverage gives you a chance to earn tokens 💯
6️⃣ How will tokens be distributed?
There will be additional info regarding the initial token generation event in the coming months. Sign up for our newsletter at ➡️ https://www.helium.com to be the first to know.
7️⃣ Will Helium be proprietary?
We believe proprietary protocols and technologies stifle innovation. This is why we use commodity, open-standard hardware, and modules available from dozens of vendors. Even our software is open-sourced. Check it out at https://www.github.com/helium
8️⃣ I want to use the Helium network for my IoT project, how do I learn more?
