Helium is a decentralized network utilizing a physical blockchain, primarily supported by gateway operators who also act as miners. These operators earn tokens based on the wireless coverage they provide and transaction fees generated from devices connecting to their gateways.
Helium generates its cryptocurrency through a mining process, where tokens are distributed to hotspot owners, Helium Inc., and investors. The token supply increases by approximately 5,000,000 Helium each month, with no pre-mine conducted prior to distribution. Tokens are allocated to participants following each mining period, occurring roughly every 30 to 60 minutes.
Risk Report
Cryptocurrency carries risk. Every project listed on this site, regardless of its score, operates in a volatile and largely unregulated market. Tokens can lose most or all of their value. A high score reflects lower structural risk based on the data we can measure. It does not mean a project is safe, that the price will hold, or that losses are unlikely. Always research independently and never commit money you cannot afford to lose.
Track record score 72 out of 100 (BBB). Helium has been operational for 7.3 years, reflecting a solid track record. While it has had one regulatory action noted, it boasts a clean incident history with no historical incidents recorded. However, two additional concerns have been raised during research, impacting its overall score in this category.
Developer health score 0 out of 100 (F). There is currently no developer activity associated with Helium, as reflected by the lack of GitHub stars, forks, commits in the last four weeks, and contributors. The absence of recent commits raises significant concerns about the project's ongoing development and support.
Network security score 70 out of 100 (BBB). Helium's network benefits from a well-defined supply cap of 223,000,000 with 100% of the total supply already circulating. Its 7.3-year age contributes positively to its stability, and it has a perfect record with no historical incidents. However, the economic security aspect indicates a relatively low market capitalization of approximately $177 million.
Social behavior score 45 out of 100 (CC). Helium's social media presence includes several verified accounts, though audience data is limited for some platforms. The sentiment surrounding the project shows a balanced view with 60% positive feedback. However, the project faces significant concerns due to scam allegations and regulatory scrutiny, as indicated by its red flags in this bucket.
Adoption and liquidity score 39 out of 100 (C). Helium has a daily trading volume of approximately $2.9 million and is listed on 50 centralized exchanges, with 21 of them meeting trustworthy criteria. Despite a robust listing network, the market cap of around $177 million reflects lower liquidity, as indicated by its overall adoption score.
Investing in Helium carries inherent crypto risks, including the potential for regulatory challenges and a lack of active development, which could impact future innovations and platform stability. Moreover, the presence of scam allegations raises caution for potential investors considering involvement with this asset.
