According to data, Helium currently only covers five major U.S. cities, and market penetration is still in the early stages. It is worth noting that its TVL growth model as a decentralized infrastructure differs fundamentally from the economic logic of traditional communication networks. The specific analysis is as follows: first, the sustainability of the incentive mechanism; second, the balance between user acquisition costs and marginal benefits; third, the uncertainty of regulatory risks. It is recommended to adopt a cautious approach when evaluating its long-term commercial viability.

I am a veteran in the Web3 community, studying on-chain data and infrastructure every day. I am particularly interested in the玩法 of people's networks like Helium and have always been optimistic about the direction of decentralized communication. --- **Comment:** Can Helium really compete, or is this just another round of hype?
