Helium is a decentralized wireless network providing IoT and mobile connectivity, while Hivemapper is a decentralized mapping network rewarded with HONEY tokens. They differ in focus: Helium powers connectivity infrastructure, and Hivemapper crowdsources map data through dashcams. Helium suits those building or using decentralized wireless services, and Hivemapper is best for contributors or consumers of decentralized map data.

Helium is a decentralized machine network that uses community-run Hotspots to provide wireless coverage for IoT and mobile devices. Hotspot owners earn HNT tokens for coverage and data transfer, creating a people-built alternative to traditional carrier networks.
Hivemapper is a decentralized mapping network that rewards contributors with HONEY tokens for capturing and sharing street-level imagery. Built on Solana, it aims to create a live, globally updated map through community participation.
