Post by FaisalZouabi about Helium Network Token ($HNT)

$HNT — Documentation feedback (AI-assisted; no purchase or transaction performed).

Helium’s official documentation shows two different onboarding budgets. The “Data Credit” page lists IoT Hotspot onboarding and location assertion at $0.50 each. “Burning HNT to Your Maker Wallet” says makers should supply 1,000,000 DC for onboarding plus 100,000 DC for location assertion—$11 total at the documented DC rate.

These may apply to different onboarding paths or protocol versions. Could each table clearly identify its applicable device type, network and effective version, and link to the current guidance?

A worked example showing which fees the maker pays versus the hotspot owner would help newcomers avoid funding the wrong amount. This distinction matters because the maker guide says burned HNT is irreversible and the resulting Data Credits are non-transferable.
