- Helium Inc., tus tsim thawj ntawm Helium decentralized wireless network, tam sim no muaj nuj nqis ntawm $ 1.2 nphom tom qab $ 200 lab puag ncig.
- Lub tuam txhab yuav raug hu ua Nova Labs mus rau pem hauv ntej los pab sib txawv pab pawg los ntawm zej zog-khiav, crypto-powered network.
Helium muab cov ntaub ntawv siv tshwj xeeb rau crypto tokens raws li ib qho kev faib tawm wireless network siv los ntawm kev txhawb nqa token - thiab lub platform tau nce loj hauv xyoo tas los. Tam sim no cov tsim thiab cov neeg koom tes tseem ceeb tom qab lub network tau tsa cov nyiaj tshiab tseem ceeb los ua kom lub tsev, txawm tias nyob rau hauv lub npe tshiab.
Niaj hnub no, Helium Inc. tshaj tawm txog $ 200 lab Series D nyiaj txiag puag ncig ua haujlwm ntawm kev ntsuas nyiaj ua ntej ntawm $ 1 nphom, nqa lub tuam txhab kev ntsuas tshiab rau $ 1.2 billion. Qhov kev hloov pauv tau coj los ntawm Tiger Global thiab Andreessen Horowitz's a16z crypto fund.
Lub tuam txhab tseem tshaj tawm nws tam sim no yuav raug hu ua Nova Labs, ib feem ntawm kev mob siab los pab daws qhov tsis meej pem ntawm Helium decentralized network / project, blockchain qab nws, Helium token (HNT), thiab pab pawg tseem ceeb uas tau pib tag nrho.
"[Helium] yeej yog tib neeg lub network," Nova Labs COO Frank Mong hais Decrypt. "Peb yeej xav hloov peb lub npe los tsim kom muaj qhov sib txawv uas peb tsis muaj lub network. Peb yog tus tsim thiab tsim, tab sis peb qhib-qhov chaw nws, thiab nws yog ib qho tseem ceeb kom paub txog tias cov neeg yog cov uas tsis muaj kev lag luam loj hlob thiab tswj lub network. "
Nrog rau kev hloov lub npe, Nova Labs tau tso cai Helium lub cim lag luam rau Decentralized Wireless Alliance, uas yuav raug hloov npe hu ua Helium Foundation. Lub Decentralized Wireless Alliance yog pawg tswj hwm hauv zej zog xaiv tom qab Helium lub network, thiab nws saib xyuas tej yam xws li kev txhim kho network.
Helium tau koom nrog hauv 2013 los ntawm Shawn Fanning (ntawm Napster koob meej) thiab Amir Haleem, thiab nws pib wireless network tau tsim rau Is Taws Nem ntawm Yam (IoT) cov khoom siv xws li sensors thiab trackers. Cov neeg siv tuaj yeem faib lawv cov kev pabcuam hauv tsev hauv tsev los ntawm Helium miner / node, uas nthuav tawm cov teeb liab hla mais thiab muab khoom plig rau cov neeg siv nrog HNT tokens rau kev txhawb nqa lub network.
Lub network ntawd tau loj hlob sai, los ntawm tsuas yog 14,000 tus neeg nquag siv thaum pib ntawm 2021 mus rau ntau tshaj li ib nrab lab nyob rau thaum xaus ntawm lub xyoo. Txog hnub no, Helium network tam sim no muaj ntau tshaj 680,000 nodes nce thiab khiav.
Xyoo tas los, Helium tshaj tawm tso tawm 5G network tsim los rau cov khoom siv xws li smartphones, laptops, thiab ntsiav tshuaj, koom tes nrog FreedomFi. Mong hais Decrypt tias Nova Labs thiab Helium zej zog yuav tos ntsoov mus ntxiv raws li cov qauv wireless txuas ntxiv tshwm sim, thiab yuav ua haujlwm theoretically ua haujlwm rau yav tom ntej kev sib koom tes hauv hom.
"5G yog qhov peb txhua tus tau tham txog rau tsib lossis rau xyoo dhau los. Kuv paub tseeb tias muaj 6G lossis 7G, lossis 10G, nyob ib ncig ntawm lub ces kaum, "nws hais. "Peb yuav tsum tau npaj txhij rau txhua qhov ntawd."

Lub Series D puag ncig kuj tseem muaj kev koom tes los ntawm Xya Xya Rau, VC tuam txhab los ntawm Reddit co-founder Alexis Ohanian, nrog rau Deutsche Telekom, GV (yav tas los Google Ventures), Liberty Global, NGP Capital, thiab Goodyear Ventures - VC caj npab ntawm lub tuam txhab loj log tsheb.
Andreessen Horowitz kuj coj Nova Labs '$ 111 lab nyiaj txiag puag ncig Lub Yim Hli dhau los, uas tau raug tua raws li kev muag khoom token. Los ntawm qhov sib txawv, qhov Series D puag ncig no tau tsom mus rau kev ncaj ncees, tsis muaj kev cuam tshuam nrog, Mong hais.
Qhov $200 lab yuav siv rau hauv ib feem loj los nthuav cov pab pawg Nova Labs los ntawm ib pab pawg tam sim no txog 60 tus neeg, Mong ntxiv. Lawv tshwj xeeb tshaj yog nyob rau hauv kev yos hav zoov rau cov engineers los pab ntsuas Helium network cov txheej txheem kom tau raws li cov neeg siv xav tau.
"Peb txhua tus zoo siab heev, tab sis nkees," nws hais. “Peb xav tau kev pab. Tsuas yog xav mus ntev, qhov no yog qhov tseeb tias yog marathon thiab tsis yog kev sib tw. Thaum peb tau muaj kev sib tw zoo li kev sib tw, kuv xav kom tag nrho pab pawg thiab ecosystem khiav zoo li marathon. Qhov no yog, rau kuv, kev siv zog ntau xyoo. "
Goodyear Ventures yog lub npe npaj txhij txog ntawm daim ntawv teev npe, thiab Mong tau hais tias nws yog vim tias lub tuam txhab xav paub yuav ua li cas Helium thev naus laus zis tuaj yeem siv lub zog sensors uas nyob hauv cov log tsheb tsis yog hauv lub log lossis lub tsheb nws tus kheej.
Deutsche Telekom yog lwm qhov zoo tshaj plaws nyob rau hauv qhov kev hloov no, raws li ib txwm muaj kev sib tham loj heev uas tam sim no tau nqis peev hauv Helium lub zeem muag ntawm kev faib tawm, token-powered network. Tab sis nws tsis yog lub lag luam txawb loj hauv kev sib xyaw: NGP Capital yog txhawb nqa los ntawm Nokia nkaus xwb, thaum Liberty Global yog qhov ruaj khov tom qab Vodafone thiab Virgin Media O2.
Qhov ntawd echoes FreedomFi tus kheej Tsis ntev los no $ 9.5 lab Series A nyiaj txiag puag ncig, uas suav nrog mobile heavyweights Qualcomm thiab Samsung. Txhua tus hais, Mong pom tias nws yog ib qho txiaj ntsig zoo rau dab tsi lub zej zog Helium tab tom tsim ua ke nyob rau hauv ib tug decentralized.
Nws tau hais tias "Cov no yog cov cim zoo uas, thaum peb tab tom taug kev mus rau kev cuam tshuam loj heev ntawm kev tsim cov wireless wireless li cas," nws hais tias, "Nws yog qhov zoo uas pom tias muaj tsawg kawg yog qee tus neeg nyob hauv qhov chaw uas tab tom saib peb nrog kev xav paub. , lossis nrog qee qhov kev cog lus.
