Depin explosion! Helium has reached an "automatic connection" protocol with AT&T, leading to a surge in users and pumping HNT by 18%.

This article focuses on DePIN projects related to the APAC region in the Solana ecosystem, covering 5 categories: wireless network, energy, sensors, health network, and computing power, to explore the growth potential and industry dynamics of DePIN in the Asia-Pacific region. (Synopsis: "DePIN Day" arrives in Hong Kong in February: Fluence and Titan Network join forces to discuss the future of DePIN) (Background supplement: DePIN first case" SEC "sues Helium fraud" for issuing unregistered cryptocurrency securities, MOBILE, HNT, IOT plummeted) Decentralized physical construction (Depin) represents a large-scale project Helium ushered in a major benefit today, and US telecommunications leader AT&T reached an agreement with it" The "auto-connect" protocol, as long as the user equipment equipped with AT&T sim card and eSIM, will automatically link to the relevant Helium network in the United States in the future, and there are more than 62,000 Helium Wifi nodes deployed in North America, which makes telecom users inadvertently benefit from the network convenience brought by decentralized facilities. Decentralized charity effect In The Block report, Mario Di Dio, general manager of Helium Network, mentioned how the protocol works, AT&T does not need to pay Helium itself for any number of services connected to Helium, and for Helium, this traffic and users will reward users who deploy Wi-Fi nodes and obtain potential HNT mining revenue. So it's a prime example of a decentralized facility delivering pure benefits to the masses: hotspot operators are rewarded for providing useful coverage and offloading data, further emphasizing the decentralized and community-driven nature of the Helium network. Helium skyrocketed After the news came out, it also affected the price of Helium tokens, HNT tokens soared nearly 19% within 24 to about $4.2, and cases like this Depin to get free web2 users can be said to be a long-term positive factor, if the future Helium token continues to complete cooperation with telecom operators in different countries, there may be the next wave of benefits. How to make money with Helium? Helium is a user must buy the relevant Depin wi-fi base station as a mining Depin project, according to the official website, Helium currently has three different product lines, respectively operating for mobile network, Internet of Things, and home network, according to the home indoor version of $249 pricing, netizens said that in September last year, about $0.74 per day of income, the payback period is about 332 days, but the current mining difficulty and income may be different. However, at higher frequency of use, Helium's base station can produce more possible blocks through higher PoC mining, thereby increasing revenue, so users may be able to earn considerable income if they are located in areas with high frequency of use, and today's cooperation with telecom partners does not need to post links to free wifi everywhere as the Helium community used to be. However, in the Taiwan part, in the past, there was a so-called Helium agent, and the current official webpage is no longer browsable, if users in Taiwan are interested in Helium related facilities, must pay attention to whether it is fraud, and if you want to buy parallel cargo aircraft to use in Taiwan, you must also pay attention to whether it is in line with Taiwan's telecommunications regulations and frequency bands, so as not to be punished before making money.
