Helium is building a novel, global network specifically designed for billions of Internet of Things (IoT) devices. This network relies on Helium Hotspots, devices individuals can easily set up in their homes or businesses. These Hotspots provide wireless coverage using LongFi, Helium’s own open protocol, and earn Helium tokens (HNT) in the process. In essence, Helium empowers anyone to contribute to the network’s growth while being rewarded for their participation. This innovative approach aims to revolutionize telecommunications for the vast array of low-power IoT devices, paving the way for a more connected and decentralized future.
Hivemapper is a decentralized, ever-updating map built by people using dashcams to mine their cryptocurrency, HONEY. To do this, Hivemapper has managed to build the world’s first crypto miner in your car, the Hivemapper DashCam. Additionally, in November 2022, they launched the Hivemapper Network, an open, global and decentralized mapping network that uses AI to build a map based on the driving we humans do everyday. The Hivemapper Network collects millions of kilometers of road-level imagery every week, helping them build and improve their map.

NODE40 offers the industry’s most comprehensive data analysis, accounting and crypto tax platform to create an independent, verifiable audit trail. It tracks the lifecycle of each transaction — from cost basis origin to transfers to disposition — to deliver precise calculations, complete confidence and full compliance.
NODE40 was the first staking company in cryptocurrency, specializing in infrastructure for incentivized blockchain applications and peer-to-peer digital asset transactions.
There was only one problem: invoices were often paid in cryptocurrency. The founders needed to determine how to report cryptocurrency on taxes, but off-the-shelf solutions were inaccurate and lacked a verifiable audit trail.
They developed an internal application that processed transaction data and tracked performance for their own cryptocurrency portfolio compliance. Today, NODE40 offers an enterprise-grade platform for crypto protocols that helps businesses calculate precise cryptocurrency capital gains and losses by revealing what happened at every stage of a transaction.
