Helium Teams Up with DAWN to Launch Decentralized Internet Solution
Helium, a decentralized wireless carrier built on Solana, has partnered with DAWN to enhance their networks. Key points include:
- Collaboration aims to create a fully decentralized last-mile internet solution.
- Helium hotspot operators will provide DAWN broadband and vice versa.
- Partnership adds 8,000 nodes to the Helium Network from the DAWN ecosystem.
- Over 25,000 mobile hotspots have been onboarded since April, potentially serving DAWN broadband.
- No equity or investment deal is part of the partnership.
- Devices may be used for various applications depending on demand, potentially increasing household income.
- Starlink could be a significant competitor to the Helium-DAWN collaboration.
- DAWN plans to airdrop a token to early adopters.
The partnership indicates a trend towards coalescence in the decentralized physical infrastructure network (DePIN) space.
