Helium Mobile is launching a licensing program for its hotspots Helium Mobile announced that it is launching a licensing program for its hotspots. Helium Mobile's hotspots allow individuals or businesses to set up 'mini mobile signal towers,' emit mobile signals, and pay tokens in exchange. According to the Helium website, there are currently many third-party manufacturers and suppliers providing services for the Helium Internet of Things (IoT) network, but Helium Mobile is currently the only supplier of mobile signal coverage equipment. Through the licensing program, Helium Mobile hopes to earn licensing fees from hotspots manufactured elsewhere while developing its cellular network. Helium Mobile was developed by Nova Labs. The mobile plan operates by combining its own distributed network coverage with services purchased from T-Mobile by Helium Mobile. The plan was first tested in Miami and was launched nationwide in December of last year, with a monthly fee of $20. #HNT

Jinse Finance reported that the Ministry of Climate Change and Environment (MCCE) of the United Arab Emirates (UAE) is establishing an initial partnership with the Industrial Innovation Group and the Venom Foundation to develop a carbon credit system on the Venom Foundation blockchain. Due to the immutable nature of data recorded on-chain, these carbon credits can be sold or traded securely and completely transparently to all interested parties. This allows government organizations such as MCCE in the UAE to sell or issue credit to businesses. Credit holders can use the credits (which allow them to emit a specific amount of carbon over a given period of time), or sell and trade them to other organizations wishing to offset their own emissions.
