  The Helium network can enhance the scalability of blockchain technology through its unique approach to consensus. Unlike traditional blockchains that rely on Proof of Work (PoW) or Proof of Stake (PoS) mechanisms, Helium uses a novel consensus algorithm called Proof of Coverage (PoC). This algorithm leverages the network's decentralized wireless infrastructure to validate transactions and secure the network. By incentivizing users to provide coverage and participate in the network, Helium ensures a robust and scalable blockchain ecosystem.

  With the Helium network, blockchain scalability is improved by leveraging the power of the Internet of Things (IoT). Helium's wireless infrastructure allows IoT devices to connect to the blockchain, enabling them to participate in the consensus process. This distributed network of IoT devices helps distribute the computational load, increasing the scalability of the blockchain. Additionally, the Helium network's low-power, long-range wireless technology reduces the energy consumption and cost associated with traditional blockchain networks, further enhancing scalability.
