The Future of
Wireless is Open.
The decentralized wireless networks powered by the Helium protocol create a more connected and equitable world. Decentralized wireless lowers the cost of connectivity by allowing anyone to provide wireless infrastructure and earn for their contribution to a public network.
The Helium Foundation exists for the common interests of Helium Network builders and users. As a community steward we support ecosystem development, contributions to the Helium open source protocol, and public education about decentralized wireless.

We’re building a connected future where no one is left behind.
Decentalized wireless protocols are paving the way to ubiquitous coverage. We believe a more connected world accelerates the dissemination of knowledge, improves economies around resource management, and adds new layers of accountability and transparency.
User-owned infrastructure, made possible by the Helium protocol and its tokenomics, gives more agency to communities and businesses to propagate their own wireless coverage for their own purposes and shared as a public good. Our mission benefits telecom incumbents, new innovators, and the entire wireless industry from an individual to international level.
