Abstract

This study showcases the successful implementation of a blockchain-enabled sharing economy model by the Helium Network, setting a benchmark for the future of sharing economies. We examine the economic dynamics and operational characteristics of Helium. Our analysis highlights how Helium’s innovative use of blockchain technology and Helium Network Tokens (HNT) fosters network expansion and sustainability. By balancing HNT scarcity with network growth, Helium demonstrates the potential for decentralized, community-driven models to thrive. These findings offer valuable insights and a framework for improving and developing future sharing economy initiatives that prioritize genuine sharing and community well-being over profit maximization.
