Network rewarding machine-learning models for useful output.
Helium coordinates a physical wireless network through token incentives: individuals deploy hotspots and are rewarded for providing verified coverage. It began as a LoRaWAN network for low-power devices and later added mobile service, migrating its infrastructure to Solana. It is the most cited example of the DePIN model — using crypto rails to bootstrap real-world hardware deployment.
