    Checked in with the Crüe on what every­one is doing and we’re a busy hus­tling group! From soil sen­sors to MOBILE deploy­ments to new LNS and announc­ing that Crüe will now have ear­ly access to DePIN State calls, we’re all going hell for leather in this land of giant opportunities! Round­table check in — what…

    Now that Heli­um is on Solana, what’s next? Let’s start with the big ones: All actions are now way faster than they were. Need to trans­fer tokens to some­one? Should take about 30 sec­onds. Want to update info on your Hotspot? Same time. No more wait­ing 40 min­utes or a few hours, or even a…

    This week we focused main­ly on the tran­si­tion from the Heli­um L1 to Solana and went through answer­ing basic ques­tions. We also talked about drones and work­ing to get Map­Met­rics on next week’s call, as well as a busi­ness idea right on the edge of a legal bound­ary. Rock ‘n roll! The chat txt file did­n’t…

    Got a chance to get some ear­ly insight into what Spexi is doing as they ramp up for their alpha launch. Super fun to get the run­down from Alec and hear what’s com­ing down the pipe. Take­away? I’ll pro­l­ly pick up a drone. 🙂 10:03:32 From Lee (Team Gris­tle King) : https://www.spexigon.com/10:04:03 From Lee (Team Gris­tle King)…

    One of the core ben­e­fits of a glob­al LoRaWAN net­work like Heli­um is the abil­i­ty to track assets across a large area. Now, track­ing isn’t mag­ic, it’s engi­neer­ing, and it always comes down to fun­da­men­tals: How are you get­ting your loca­tion? How long do you need your track­er to run? How often should it ping?  As…

    We’re about to make one of the largest migra­tions ever done on a blockchain, from one L1 to anoth­er. Sure, there have been oth­er large migra­tions, but this is eas­i­ly the largest ever seen in the DePIN space. With that that as our frame­work, let’s talk about the rea­sons for the move, the chal­lenges we…

    One of many extra­or­di­nary aspects of being alive in 2023 is access to resources. In this case, it was access both to a 3D print­er (a Prusa Mk3S+ I assem­bled from the kit) and find­ing design tal­ent to get max­i­mum val­ue of the print­er. Before we get there though, let’s start at the beginning. Some­time…

    Heli­um opened the door for a lot of us into the world of LoRaWAN, which stands for Long Range Wide Area Net­works. After all the excite­ment of get­ting up Hotspots (tech­ni­cal­ly, “gate­ways”) up to earn HNT for pro­vid­ing cov­er­age, we’re left ask­ing, “What can you do with Helium?” One of the best places to start…

    Raullen & Andrew from IOTEX dropped in to walk us through what IOTEX is and what it enables. Exclu­sive to Gris­tle Crüe, always good to get insight direct­ly from founders and the folks work­ing in the project!
