## Chia Network (XCH) คืออะไร

[Chia Network](https://coinmarketcap.com/th/currencies/chia-network/) (XCH) เป็นบล็อคเชน [เลเยอร์ 1](https://coinmarketcap.com/alexandria/glossary/layer-1-blockchain) ที่ใช้ภาษาการเขียนโปรแกรมที่ออกแบบเองที่เรียกว่า [Chialisp](https://coinmarketcap.com/alexandria/glossary/blockchain) และ [กลไกฉันทามติ](https://coinmarketcap.com/alexandria/glossary/consensus-mechanism) แบบใหม่ที่เรียกว่า proof-of-space-and-time (PoST) การรวมกันของสองสิ่งนี้ทำให้บล็อคเชนใช้พลังงานน้อยลงโดยไม่กระทบต่อความปลอดภัยของเครือข่าย ตรงกันข้ามกับบล็อคเชนส่วนใหญ่ โดย Chia Network เป็นบริษัทที่มีการให้บริการแบบโอเพ่นซอร์สสาธารณะที่แสวงหาผลกำไรและมุ่งมั่นที่จะจดทะเบียนใน NYSE หรือ NASDAQ บล็อคเชนมุ่งเป้าไปที่การใช้งานระดับองค์กร ซึ่งเป็นสาเหตุที่ Chia Network วางแผนที่จะมี XCH ในงบดุลในรายการอื่น ๆ

ฟังก์ชัน proof-of-time ตัวแรกของ Chia Network เปิดตัวในปี 2019 โดยรุ่นเบต้าตัวแรกของบล็อคเชนเปิดตัวในปี 2020 Chia Network มีฟังก์ชันเต็มรูปแบบ ซึ่งรวมถึงฟังก์ชันวอลเลท ธุรกรรม และ [proof-of-time](https://coinmarketcap.com/alexandria/glossary/smart-contract) โดยเปิดตัว [mainnet](https://coinmarketcap.com/alexandria/glossary/mainnet) ในปี 2021

### ใครคือผู้ก่อตั้ง Chia Network

[Chia Network](https://coinmarketcap.com/th/currencies/chia-network/) (XCH) ก่อตั้งขึ้นที่เดลาแวร์ในปี 2017 โดย Bram Cohen ผู้ก่อตั้ง BitTorrent แพลตฟอร์มแชร์ไฟล์แบบ peer-to-peer ยอดนิยม โครงการนี้นำโดยทีมผู้บริหารอาวุโสที่มีประสบการณ์สูง ซึ่งรวมถึงอดีต CEO ของ NASDAQ อย่าง Gene Hoffman ในฐานะประธานเจ้าหน้าที่ฝ่ายปฏิบัติการ (COO) และอดีต CEO ของ Overstock.com อย่าง Mitch Edwards ในฐานะประธานเจ้าหน้าที่ฝ่ายการเงิน (CFO)

Chia Network ยังได้รับการสนับสนุนจากผู้ร่วมลงทุนที่เน้นไปที่[คริปโตเคอร์เรนซี](https://coinmarketcap.com/alexandria/article/what-are-cryptocurrencies) มันระดมทุนได้ 61 ล้านดอลลาร์ในเดือนพฤษภาคม 2021 โดยได้รับการสนับสนุนจาก VCs ชั้นนำซึ่งรวมถึง Andreessen Horowitz, Slow Ventures, Naval Ravikant, Galaxy Digital และอื่น ๆ

### อะไรที่ทำให้ Chia Network ไม่เหมือนใคร

[Chia Network](https://coinmarketcap.com/th/currencies/chia-network/) (XCH) ถูกปรับปรุงด้วย [proof-of-stake](https://coinmarketcap.com/alexandria/glossary/proof-of-stake-pos) (PoS) และ [proof-of-work](https://coinmarketcap.com/alexandria/glossary/proof-of-work-pow) (PoW) โดยใช้กลไกฉันทามติที่ใช้พลังงานน้อยกว่า เครือข่ายได้รับฉันทามติของ Nakamoto โดยรวมทั้ง proof-of-space (PoS) กับ proof-of-time (PoT) ซึ่งทั้งคู่ทำงานในลักษณะที่แตกต่างกัน

Proof-of-space กำหนดให้ [miners](https://coinmarketcap.com/alexandria/glossary/miners) ต้องใช้ที่เก็บข้อมูลที่ไม่ใช่ฮาร์ดดิสก์ไดรฟ์ของตน ในเหตุการณ์เช่นนี้ นักขุดจะติดตั้งซอฟต์แวร์พิเศษที่จัดสรรพื้นที่ว่าง จากนั้นจึงนำไปใช้เพื่อแก้ปัญหา – คล้ายกับการไขปริศนาในการของ [proof-of-work](https://coinmarketcap.com/alexandria/article/proof-of-work-vs-proof-of-stake) (PoW) ซอฟต์แวร์จัดเก็บชุดหมายเลขการเข้ารหัสไว้บนดิสก์ของ miner และเมื่อมีการสร้าง [บล็อก](https://coinmarketcap.com/alexandria/glossary/block) หมายเลขจากบล็อกก่อนหน้าจะถูกนำไปใช้ โดยที่ miner จะสแกนหมายเลขเพื่อตรวจสอบว่ามีหมายเลขใกล้เคียงกับหมายเลขทดสอบที่ต้องการหรือไม่

ในทางกลับกัน proof-of-time แสดงให้เห็นถึงการผ่านไปของเวลาผ่านฟังก์ชันการหน่วงเวลาที่ตรวจสอบได้ ในลักษณะที่คล้ายกับบล็อคเชนของ [Solana](https://coinmarketcap.com/th/currencies/solana/) (SOL) Timelords – โหนดที่บันทึกเวลา – จะตรวจสอบให้แน่ใจว่ามีการจัดทำเอกสารเวลาอย่างถูกต้องสำหรับการแก้ไขฟังก์ชัน proof-of-space

นอกจากนี้ Chia Network ยังมีภาษาโปรแกรมของตนเองที่เรียกว่า Chialisp นี่คือภาษาการเขียนโปรแกรมแบบ on-chain ที่เข้ากันได้กับ smart contract และใช้ส่วนประกอบที่สำคัญที่สุดของ [Ethereum](https://coinmarketcap.com/th/currencies/ethereum/) (ETH), Solidity และ Bitcoin Core แต่ยังคงรูปแบบ UTXO ของบิทคอยน์เอาไว้ การทำเช่นนี้ทำให้สามารถทำธุรกรรมได้พร้อมกันแทนที่จะทำตามลำดับ ทำให้ Chia Network เป็นบล็อคเชนที่รวดเร็วและประหยัดพลังงานมากกว่าเมื่อเทียบกับคู่แข่ง

### มีเหรียญ Chia Network (XCH) หมุนเวียนอยู่กี่เหรียญ

อุปทานปัจจุบันของ XCH คือ 22,582,025 เหรียญ โดย XCH จำนวน 21 ล้าน ถูกเตรียมการไว้ล่วงหน้าเพื่อช่วยสนับสนุนเงินทุนในการสร้างและบริหาร Chia ตามรายงานของ [Chia Network](https://coinmarketcap.com/th/currencies/chia-network/) (XCH) รางวัลในการฟาร์มเป็นไปตามกำหนดการนี้:

* Chia จำนวน 64 เหรียญจะถูกสร้างขึ้นทุก ๆ 10 นาทีในช่วงสามปีแรกหลังจากเปิดตัว
* Chia จำนวน 32 เหรียญจะถูกสร้างขึ้นทุก ๆ 10 นาทีในแต่ละปีในช่วงปีที่สี่ถึงหกหลังจากเปิดตัว
* Chia จำนวน 16 เหรียญจะถูกสร้างขึ้นทุก ๆ 10 นาทีในช่วงปีที่เจ็ดถึงเก้าหลังจากเปิดตัว
* Chia จำนวน 8 เหรียญจะถูกสร้างขึ้นทุก ๆ 10 นาทีในแต่ละปีหลังจากเปิดตัวปีที่สิบถึงสิบสองหลังจากเปิดตัว
* Chia จำนวน 4 เหรียญจะถูกสร้างขึ้นทุก ๆ 10 นาทีในแต่ละปีหลังจากเปิดตัวในปีที่ 12

นั่นหมายความว่าเครือข่ายจะควบคุม XCH ส่วนใหญ่ไว้และเพียง 21 ปีหลังจากการเปิดตัว mainnet ผลตอบแทนจากการทำฟาร์มจะทันกับขนาดของทุนสำรองเชิงกลยุทธ์

### เครือข่าย Chia มีความปลอดภัยอย่างไร?

นอกจากสิ่งที่น่าดึงดูดใจในการรวมกันระหว่างกลไกฉันทามติแบบ proof-of-work และ proof-of-time แล้ว [Chia Network](https://coinmarketcap.com/th/currencies/chia-network/) (XCH) ยังคงอยู่ภายใต้โครงสร้างองค์กรแบบดั้งเดิม มันหลีกเลี่ยงโมเดล crypto-native ของ [decentralized autonomous organization](https://coinmarketcap.com/alexandria/glossary/decentralized-autonomous-organizations-dao) (DAO) เพื่อสนับสนุนการเป็นบริษัทร่วมทุนแบบดั้งเดิม

Chia Network ตั้งใจที่จะแสดงรายการหุ้นของบริษัทในตลาดหลักทรัพย์ เนื่องจากเชื่อว่ารูปแบบนี้สอดคล้องกับสิ่งจูงใจได้ดีกว่ารูปแบบอื่น ๆ ดังนั้น ความเป็นเจ้าของเหรียญจึงไม่มีอิทธิพลต่อการ [กำกับดูแล](https://coinmarketcap.com/alexandria/glossary/governance) ของบล็อคเชนของ Chia ซึ่งเป็นแนวทางที่ชัดเจนสำหรับรูปแบบของบล็อคเชนสาธารณะอื่น ๆ

### คุณสามารถซื้อ Chia Network (XCH) ได้จากที่ไหน

Ethereum-based DYDX ($ethDYDX) is a governance token that allows the dYdX community to truly govern the dYdX Layer 2 Protocol built on Ethereum ("dYdX v3"). ethDYDX is currently undergoing a migration from Ethereum to the dYdX Chain. More information is available here. If you want to migrate ethDYDX to dYdX Chain DYDX, to enable staking, security and governance of the dYdX Chain you can follow the how-to-bridge guide here.

If you want to read about the new token utility for dYdX Chain DYDX you can read the blog here

ethDYDX (dYdX) is the governance token for the layer 2 protocol built on Ethereum. By enabling shared control of dYdX v3, ethDYDX allows traders, liquidity providers, and partners of dYdX to work collectively towards an enhanced dYdX v3.

Built on StarkWare’s StarkEx scalability engine, layer 2 is used for trading of cross-margined perpetuals on the platform. The scaling solution allows dYdX to increase transaction speed, eliminate gas costs, reduce trading fees and lower​​ minimum trade sizes on the protocol.

A total of 1,000,000,000 ethDYDX have been minted, and started to become accessible over five (5) years, on August 3rd, 2021, at 15:00:00 UTC.

dYdX (ethDYDX)

The 1inch Network unites decentralized protocols whose synergy enables the most lucrative, fastest, and protected operations in the DeFi space.

The 1inch Network's first protocol is a decentralized exchange (DEX) aggregator solution that searches deals across multiple liquidity sources, offering users better rates than any individual exchange. The 1inch Aggregation Protocol incorporates the Pathfinder algorithm for finding the best paths across over 400+ liquidity sources on 12 chains: Ethereum, BNB Chain, Polygon, Avalanche, Optimism, Arbitrum, Fantom, Gnosis Chain, Klaytn, Aurora, zkSync and Base.

In just over two years the 1inch DEX aggregator has reached 1M users and surpassed $150B in overall volume on the Ethereum network alone.

The 1inch Limit Order Protocol facilitates the most innovative and flexible limit order swap opportunities in DeFi. The protocol’s features, such as dynamic pricing, conditional orders, and extra RFQ support, power various implementations, including stop-loss and trailing stop orders, as well as auctions.

The 1inch Wallet is a multichain mobile platform that provides an easy-to-navigate interface with secure storing, transaction, and staking capabilities. This versatile wallet was built from the ground up to streamline interacting with 1inch’s features.

The 1INCH token is the governance and utility token of the 1inch Network. 1INCH holders can stake their tokens to participate in the 1inch Network's DAO governance, including the 1inch DAO Treasury management. Also, holders can choose resolvers and earn a part of their fees.

With the 1inch Fusion, users can stake 1INCH tokens to receive Unicorn Power (UP), then subsequently delegate their UP to any 1inch Fusion Resolver to start receiving rewards from them. When staking, there is the option to set a custom or preset lock period. User’s st1INCH tokens cannot be unstaked/withdrawn without penalty until the designated lock period expires.

In December 2020, 1inch raised $12 million in Series A funding, led by Pantera Capital, with others including ParaFi Capital, Blockchain Capital, Nima Capital, and Spartan Group. The funding round was conducted through a SAFT (simple agreement for future tokens) sale.

In December 2021, 1inch has closed a $175 million Series B round, led by Amber Group. Among about 50 investors that participated in the funding event are Jane Street, VanEck, Fenbushi Capital, Alameda Research, Celsius, Nexo, Tribe Capital and Gemini Frontier Fund.

1inch Network

Mina Protocol is a minimal “succinct blockchain” built to curtail computational requirements in order to run DApps more efficiently. Mina has been described as the world’s lightest blockchain since its size is designed to remain constant despite growth in usage. Furthermore, it remains balanced in terms of security and decentralization. The project was rebranded from Coda Protocol to Mina in October 2020.

To learn more about this project, check out our deep dive of Mina Protocol.

The Mina network has a size of only 22 KB, which is miniscule when compared to Bitcoin’s 300 GB blockchain.

Mina

Trust Wallet Token, or TWT, is a simple BEP-20 utility token that provides a range of benefits and incentives to Trust Wallet users. Trust Wallet itself is a mobile cryptocurrency wallet that supports dozens of popular native assets, in addition to popular tokens on the Ethereum, Binance and TRON blockchains.

Holders of TWT tokens unlock a variety of benefits when using Trust Wallet, including discounts on in-app cryptocurrency purchases and on the use of decentralized exchange (DEX) services. TWT holders can also participate in the governance of Trust Wallet and can vote on Trust Wallet update proposals, helping to shape the development of the app.

Trust Wallet Token was initially launched as a BEP-2 asset on Binance Chain, but was relaunched as a BEP-20 token on Binance Smart Chain in October 2020.

Trust Wallet Token

Self-described as "Polkadot's wild cousin," Kusama is an experimental blockchain platform that is designed to provide a massively interoperable and scalable framework for developers.

Kusama is built on Substrate — a blockchain building kit developed by Parity Technologies. Kusama has almost the same codebase as Polkadot — one of the most successful interoperable blockchains.

By deploying on Kusama, fast-paced projects gain access to a highly scalable, interoperable sharded network, with features that are not yet available on Polkadot. To that end, Kusama describes itself as a “canary network.”

The platform is designed to provide a testbed for developers looking to innovate and deploy their own blockchain and can be used as a preparatory network before launching on Polkadot — though many projects opt to stick with Kusama for their final product.

Kusama benefits from a low barrier to entry for deploying parachains, low bond requirements for validators, and is most commonly used by early-stage startups and for experimentation.

Kusama

In a nutshell, Cosmos bills itself as a project that solves some of the “hardest problems” facing the blockchain industry. It aims to offer an antidote to “slow, expensive, unscalable and environmentally harmful” proof-of-work protocols, like those used by Bitcoin, by offering an ecosystem of connected blockchains.

The project’s other goals include making blockchain technology less complex and difficult for developers thanks to a modular framework that demystifies decentralized apps. Last but not least, an Interblockchain Communication protocol makes it easier for blockchain networks to communicate with each other — preventing fragmentation in the industry.

Cosmos’ origins can be dated back to 2014, when Tendermint, a core contributor to the network, was founded. In 2016, a white paper for Cosmos was published — and a token sale was held the following year. ATOM tokens are earned through a hybrid proof-of-stake algorithm, and they help to keep the Cosmos Hub, the project’s flagship blockchain, secure. This cryptocurrency also has a role in the network’s governance.

Cosmos

Vega Protocol provides the derivatives scaling layer for Web3. It is a custom-built proof-of-stake blockchain, which makes it possible to trade derivatives on a decentralised network with comparable experience to using a centralised exchange.

VEGA is the network governance and staking token. It is used for:

Voting on the creation of new markets on the network

Running validator nodes on the network via staking VEGA tokens

Earning fees from traders through staking and delegation

Governing important network parameters which ensure markets are secure and fair

Vega Protocol

Aptos is a Layer 1 Proof-of-Stake (PoS) blockchain that employs a novel smart contract programming language called Move, a Rust-based programming language that was independently developed by Meta (formerly Facebook)’s Diem blockchain engineers.

Aptos’s vision is a blockchain that brings mainstream adoption to web3 and empowers an ecosystem of DApps to solve real-world user problems.

The PoS blockchain can achieve a theoretical transaction throughput of over 150,000 transactions per second (tps) through parallel execution.

In March 2022, Aptos raised $200 million in a seed round led by the venture capital firm Andreessen Horowitz (a16z). Other crypto heavyweights like Tiger Global and Multicoin Capital took part in the funding round. Fast forward to July, the startup raised another $200 million in a Series A round with participation from Dragonfly, Apollo Global, Franklin Templeton, Animoca, Jump Crypto and others.

Two months later, Binance Labs made a strategic investment of an undisclosed amount in Aptos.

On Oct. 18, 2022, Aptos announced the mainnet launch, while the Aptos genesis occurred on Oct. 12, 2022.

Aptos

Dash is an open-source blockchain and cryptocurrency focused on offering a fast, cheap global payments network that is decentralized in nature. According to the project's white paper, Dash seeks to improve upon Bitcoin (BTC) by providing stronger privacy and faster transactions.

Dash, whose name comes from "digital cash," was launched in January 2014 as a fork of Litecoin (LTC). Since going live, Dash has grown to include features such as a two-tier network with incentivized nodes, including "masternodes," and decentralized project governance; InstantSend, which allows for instantly settled payments; ChainLocks, which makes the Dash blockchain instantly immutable; and PrivateSend, which offers additional optional privacy for transactions.

Dash

The Internet Computer blockchain incorporates a radical rethink of blockchain design, powered by innovations in cryptography. It provides the first “World Computer” blockchain that can be used to build almost any online system or service, including demanding web social media, without need for traditional IT such as cloud computing services. As such it can enable full end-to-end decentralization.

Internet Computer

Compound is a DeFi lending protocol that allows users to earn interest on their cryptocurrencies by depositing them into one of several pools supported by the platform.

To learn more about this project, check out our deep dive of Compound.

When a user deposits tokens to a Compound pool, they receive cTokens in return. These cTokens represent the individual’s stake in the pool and can be used to redeem the underlying cryptocurrency initially deposited into the pool at any time. For example, by depositing ETH into a pool, you will receive cETH in return. Over time, the exchange rate of these cTokens to the underlying asset increases, which means you can redeem them for more of the underlying asset than you initially put in — this is how the interest is distributed.

On the flip side, borrowers can take a secured loan from any Compound pool by depositing collateral. The maximum loan-to-value (LTV) ratio varies based on the collateral asset, but currently ranges from 50 to 75%. The interest rate paid varies by borrowed asset and borrowers can face automatic liquidation if their collateral falls below a specific maintenance threshold.

Since the launch of the Compound mainnet in September 2018, the platform has skyrocketed in popularity, and recently passed more than $800 million in total locked value.

Starknet

Polkadot is an open-source sharded multichain protocol that connects and secures a network of specialized blockchains, facilitating cross-chain transfer of any data or asset types, not just tokens, thereby allowing blockchains to be interoperable with each other. Polkadot was designed to provide a foundation for a decentralized internet of blockchains, also known as Web3.

Polkadot is known as a layer-0 metaprotocol because it underlies and describes a format for a network of layer 1 blockchains known as parachains (parallel chains). As a metaprotocol, Polkadot is also capable of autonomously and forklessly updating its own codebase via on-chain governance according to the will of its token holder community.

Polkadot provides a foundation to support a decentralized web, controlled by its users, and to simplify the creation of new applications, institutions and services.

The Polkadot protocol can connect public and private chains, permissionless networks, oracles and future technologies, allowing these independent blockchains to trustlessly share information and transactions through the Polkadot Relay Chain (explained further down).

Polkadot’s native DOT token serves three clear purposes: staking for operations and security, facilitating network governance, and bonding tokens to  connect parachains .

Polkadot has four core components:

Relay Chain: Polkadot’s “heart,” helping to create consensus, interoperability and shared security across the network of different chains;

Parachains: independent chains that can have their own tokens and be optimized for specific use cases;

Parathreads: similar to parachains but with flexible connectivity based on an economical pay-as-you-go model;

Bridges: allow parachains and parathreads to connect and communicate with external blockchains like Ethereum.

Polkadot

Karura is an all-in-one decentralized finance (DeFi) hub and stablecoin platform built on Kusama (KSM) and integrated into Polkadot (DOT). Karura was created by the Acala Network, which has won four Web3 Foundation grants and founded the Substrate Developer Academy.

To learn more about this project, check out our deep dive of Karura.

Both Karura and Acala are backed by multiple funds, including Coinbase Ventures, Pantera Capital, Polychain Capital and Hypersphere. Karura and Acala operate in parallel. Specifically, Karura is implementing DeFi on Kusama in the same way that Acala is offering DeFi on Polkadot. The network is built with almost the same codebase as Acala: the two platforms provide scalable, convenient and fast DeFi cross-chain ecosystems for Kusama and Polkadot.

Parachain Karura is a platform that allows users to create effective, low-cost and complex financial applications, saving time and increasing trading efficiency.

The platform itself provides a multi-collateralized stablecoin backed by cross-chain assets (kUSD), a trustless staking derivative (liquid KSM), and an automated market maker (AMM) decentralized exchange (DEX) for unlocking liquidity and supporting financial innovation.

Karura is the decentralized financial hub of Kusama, a scalable multi-chain network for radical innovation and early-stage Polkadot deployments. Karura is the sister network to Acala. It hosts multichain liquid staking token (LST) protocols (such as liquid KSM - LKSM), an AMM decentralized exchange, and an app platform that is EVM-compatible and highly customizable (based on Substrate). Karura is secured by Kusama, and is the liquidity gateway of Kusama parachains, Acala and L1/L2 blockchains

Karura

Toncoin (TON) is the native cryptocurrency of the decentralized layer-1 blockchain, The Open Network (TON). The TON blockchain is open-sourced and supported by many network contributors, including the Switzerland-based non-profit organization, the TON Foundation.

Since 2017, the Telegram team had been developing the codebase for a blockchain network, then named Telegram Open Network (TON), with a native cryptocurrency named 'Gram.' In May 2020, Telegram founder and CEO Pavel Durov announced the end of Telegram's involvement with the TON Blockchain following a court order by the SEC. The Gram token was never issued.

Since 2020, the technology has been developed by an independent community of developers and blockchain enthusiasts. The non-profit TON Foundation is the most prominent of these supporters. The blockchain was renamed from "Telegram Open Network" to "The Open Network," with Toncoin now the native cryptocurrency of the TON network.
The whitepaper contains part of the original codebase written by Dr. Nikolai Durov, co-founder of Telegram and brother of Pavel Durov. Toncoin utilizes the proof-of-stake (PoS) consensus model for network scalability and reliability.

TON Foundation's vision is to empower 500 million users to own their digital identity, data, and assets by 2028 by empowering developers to build a Web3 ecosystem in Telegram Messenger.

Toncoin

Optimism (OP) is a layer-two blockchain on top of Ethereum. Optimism benefits from the security of the Ethereum mainnet and helps scale the Ethereum ecosystem by using optimistic rollups. That means transactions are trustlessly recorded on Optimism but ultimately secured on Ethereum.

Optimism is one of the biggest scaling solutions for Ethereum with over $500 million in TVL. It is home to 97 protocols, the biggest being Synthetix (SNX), a derivatives exchange, Uniswap (UNI), a DEX, and Velodrome (VELO), an AMM. Users can begin their journey on Optimism by adding the chain on their Metamask and bridging tokens like ETH to the L2. On May 31, 2022, Optimism conducted a highly anticipated airdrop of its OP token.

Optimism

SafePal is a cryptocurrency wallet launched in 2018 that helps users to protect and grow their digital assets. SafePal provides hardware and software wallets, all paired and managed through the SafePal App and was the first hardware wallet invested in and backed by Binance.

SafePal wallet supports numerous popular crypto-assets, in addition to popular tokens on the Ethereum, Binance Smart Chain (BSC)and TRON blockchains. Users can store, manage, swap, trade and grow their portfolio without compromising asset security, according to SafePal.

Since its launch in 2018, SafePal has grown exponentially and has over 3,000,000 users in 196 countries globally. More information can be found in the SafePal Official Website.

SafePal

Helium (HNT) is a decentralized blockchain-powered network for Internet of Things (IoT) devices.

Launched in July 2019, the Helium mainnet allows low-powered wireless devices to communicate with each other and send data across its network of nodes.

Nodes come in the form of so-called Hotspots, which are a combination of a wireless gateway and a blockchain mining device. Users who operate nodes thus mine and earn rewards in Helium’s native cryptocurrency token, HNT.

Helium’s goal is to prepare IoT communication for the future, identifying inadequacies in current infrastructure from its birth in 2013.
