As MNTD grows, RAKwireless expands reach of their Helium Hotspots in recent drop

The new drop is a testament to RAK’s ongoing commitment towards making crypto accessible to all.

MNTD., a new brand created by RAKwireless (RAK) solely focused on making crypto-hardware accessible to everyday people, has announced its continued momentum into the crypto-hardware space with its new drop queue system that makes Helium Hotspots available to more customers in the EU and across North America.

"We're committed to ensuring our hotspots stay accessible to end customers and understand the challenges of the recent supply and demand issues," says RAKwireless CEO, Ken Yu. "This new drop queue feature will help provide more units to IoT and crypto enthusiasts. The goal of MNTD. has always been to support an introductory crypto community and our new drop is a testament to the growing popularity of these new miners."

Unique to this launch was a new drop queue feature. It was added to battle the ongoing bot issue at checkout. When registered, the drop queue randomly assigns each customer a position to buy a hotspot. The goal of this feature is to balance the traffic and most importantly, give everyone a fair chance to buy the highly in-demand crypto hardware product. MNTD. only sells products that are in stock and are ready for immediate shipping, avoiding the industry backlog issue.

Since 2020, RAK has been a key partner to Helium in creating reliable and top-class hardware to power Helium Hotspots.

Helium enthusiasts’ can buy the equipment and host it at home. Once set up, they are able to mine crypto and access the network. It's a quick 'plug and play' process, the whole experience of setting up a miner is possible in under 20 mins. The product is coupled around a modern reward system built around a kind of cryptocurrency, the Helium Token (HNT) that users can effectively mine for. Helium enthusiasts across the globe celebrate the fact they are part of "The People's Network," miner hotspot community.
