This week, we are incredibly proud to announce that we’ve reached over 100,000 sign-ups for Helium Mobile.
Launched in 2023, Helium Mobile set out to build a new kind of mobile carrier and wireless communications network that is decentralized, democratized, and affordable. This milestone is a testament to the power of community and decentralized technology. You, our amazing community, made this happen. Let’s take a moment to celebrate how far we’ve come.
What makes Helium Mobile different?
With Helium Mobile, it’s people that make the difference. Through the power of decentralization, we empower our users to participate in building network infrastructure and earn token rewards. While Helium Mobile subscribers get wireless coverage from our partner network (the nation’s largest, fastest 5G network), they’re also covered by the people-built Helium Network.
Powered by the Solana blockchain, coverage from the Helium Network provides our subscribers with transparency, security, and the chance to earn crypto for participating in building the network.
Our subscribers are active participants in the growth and success of our network. By working together, we’ve created a network that benefits everyone. With over 14,000 hotspots deployed throughout the U.S and over 100,000 Helium Mobile sign-ups, we’re confident that we’re poised to continue disrupting the industry.
Our Journey: From Vision to Reality
Remember when we started? We had this wild idea of revolutionizing the telco industry with affordable, decentralized and privacy-focused connectivity.
Our journey began with the launch of the world's first decentralized wireless network. We leveraged blockchain technology to build a network powered by everyday users rather than traditional telecom infrastructure. This approach allows us to offer competitive pricing and unparalleled coverage, while creating a truly people-powered network.
Helium Mobile is taking the lead on decentralized physical infrastructure by empowering anyone to participate in building network infrastructure and earning rewards in the process.
Our growth has accelerated rapidly since we first introduced the mobile plan for Miami residents in August 2023 and expanded nationwide in December. We started 2024 with 30,000 customers and now, we've reached 100,000. At a time of high inflation and rising costs for phone and data plans, it's clear that customers are looking for something different and they are finding it with Helium Mobile.
