Helium Mobile active users have reached a new all-time high. Around 3.5 million unique users have connected to a Helium Mobile hotspot daily, up 3x since November 2025.

Talking DePIN at @DigitalChamber summit in DC this week. Most of crypto is vibes. DePIN actually builds things. @helium has thousands of nodes deploying real wireless coverage for millions of users every day. bit.ly/DCBS26

time for a few changes to make deployer life.. better!

4% of GitHub public commits are being authored by Claude Code right now. At the current trajectory, we believe that Claude Code will be 20%+ of all daily commits by the end of 2026. While you blinked, AI consumed all of software development.

your timeline convinced you AI is in a bubble. talk to a boomer above the age 35 for 5 minutes. most people don’t even know what claude is.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​ kind of wild when you zoom out.

Just keep doing the thing

Looks like @Railway is having a moment. And reporting an outage is broken too since it requires logging in with railway which get a bland "Internal server error" response. Just trying to help in case you needed another data point

DePIN ROI: Hivemapper Bee vs Helium Hotspots - coinworldstory.com/depin-roi-hive… In this article, I will present the DePIN Hardware Comparison: Hivemapper Bee vs. Helium Mobile Hotspots ROI benchmarks, focusing on costs, token rewards, payback period, and risks. I will analyze Hive...

Come say hi to the @Helium team at our booth! Catch @didiomario live on stage - 1:45 PM: Fireside chat - 2:00 PM: Panel discussion 📍 The Inbuilding Wireless Association Summit Fort Lauderdale

Consistent access to data, add some network knowledge and ask the right questions.. Thank you @claudeai for helping make this easy

@Kevihaiceth @helium Should be mostly a no-op since PoC isn’t a factor right now. Removing this mostly removes a number of support issues and misunderstandings on what is needed to set up a hotspot

@helium lets see how this helium proposal plays out then

as some of you might recall, we spoke before about work we had been doing with our carrier partners to improve how they get visibility in to the quality of service for their traffic once their subscribers join WiFi networks like @helium and leave their cellular network traditionally this has been a bit of a black box - once the subscriber is off their network, they have little to no information on the quality of the connection, how long it lasted, how much data was consumed, etc. this in turn led those carriers to act on the more conservative side when it came to making offload decisions it's why Hotspot hosts would sometimes see traffic dips or long periods of time where no carrier offload occurred. carriers are becoming smarter at deciding where and how much traffic to offload based on economics (for paid contracts) but also based on the performance of both WiFi and cellular in a given venue thankfully, at least one of our partners has now implemented upgraded mechanisms as a result of our QoS work, and we're starting to see the results of that change as of yesterday I would expect to break ATH's over the weekend, as we might see 40-50% less rejections than we had in the past 🚀

Excellent day to watch the opening of the Winter Olympics, and ATH @helium network users

obviously the crypto market across the board is...not good. but the things that we can control are going incredibly well and exceeding our expectations one thing that is somewhat undiscussed in the report is how we internally think about @helium_mobile vs @helium - to be incredibly blunt, there is no way that HM can be successful without Helium. MVNO's are notoriously low margin high difficulty businesses - we have absolutely no interest in trying to replicate Mint Mobile, Boost, or any of the others out there what we *are* building towards is a carrier that can stand on its own, with minimal or no dependence on a coverage partner. it will only be possible to do this if Helium gets big (really big), if HNT is the currency of connectivity, and if HM subs predominantly use Helium vs a partner. today that number is around 19% of all HM subscriber data, and our mission in 2026 is to increase that substantially. more HM data = more HNT bought and burned the @blockworks dashboard does an incredible job of getting into the details about how Helium and HNT are doing, and I'm glad this kind of IR work is getting done and shared with everyone 🫡

@chrisferebee @helium hah.. wouldn't some form of location and performance validation thing be nice.. ofcourse that reeks like verification mapping which was pretty easily bypassed. Still working on some ideas while continuing to work with the MNOs to understand what actually -matters- to them

@madninja @helium Of course! That’s why we don’t have it already. It’s ours to dream and yours to build. Just wondering what tricks you might have up your sleeve.

What questions do you have for the Helium core team? 🎙️ Live AMA: Thursday, Feb 5 @ 3 PM ET on X Spaces twitter.com/i/spaces/1gqxv…

@chrisferebee @helium Yeah, as you probably already know there are some challenges there given that there is no way to qualify a brownfield installation wrt to it's claimed location, connectivity, nor are quality metrics collected for it.

@helium UniFi Helium-Easy Button FTW! (My real question here was about a path towards permissionless offload with the Tier 1 MNOs.)
