Smart Contract
Uniswap Docs
Uniswap V3 is a binary smart contract system comprised of many libraries, which together make the Core and Periphery.
Core contracts provide fundamental safety guarantees for all parties interacting with Uniswap. They define the logic of pool generation, the pools themselves, and the interactions involving the respective assets therein.
Periphery contracts interact with one or more Core contracts but are not part of the core. They are designed to provide methods of interacting with the core that increase clarity and user safety.
External calls will primarily call the periphery interfaces. Externally available functions are all viewable in the reference documentation. Internal functions are viewable on the Uniswap V3 Github repo.

Oracle Integration
Oracle Integration
Oracles are data feeds that bring data from off the blockchain (off-chain) data sources and puts it on the blockchain (on-chain) for smart contracts to use. This is necessary because smart contracts running on Ethereum cannot access information stored outside the blockchain network.
Giving smart contracts the ability to execute using off-chain data inputs extends decentralized applications' value. For instance, decentralized prediction markets rely on oracles to provide information about outcomes with which they can validate user predictions.

Overview
Helium a is a decentralized wireless network built around WHIP on a purpose-built blockchain with a native token. At the basic level, Helium is a cryptocurrency-powered decentralized wireless network for "internet of things" devices. Decentralization in software-level networks is scaling up fast, but physical networks are taking long to adopt decentralization because they often require specialized hardware to function. The Helium network is a solution to this. It represents the decentralization of physical networks, which are more complicated to decentralize.
About the Helium Network
The Helium network encompasses a blockchain, a protocol token and a wide-area wireless networking system. The blockchain runs on a new kind of proof, called Proof-of-Coverage and a consensus protocol called the Helium Consensus Protocol. The key components of the network include:
Proof-of-Coverage
Proof-of-Coverage allows miners to prove they are providing wireless network coverage.
Helium Network
The helium blockchain network is designed specifically to service WHIP and provide a system for authenticating and identifying IoT devices, providing cryptographic guarantees of data transmission and authenticity.
Helium Consensus Protocol
Helium Consensus Protocol is a novel consensus protocol that combines an asynchronous Byzantine fault-tolerant protocol with identities presented via Proof-of-Coverage to create a high throughput, permission-less, censor-resistant system.
WHIP
WHIP is an open-source and standards-compliant wireless network protocol designed for low-power IoT devices across large areas. WHIP protocol runs on existing commodity radio chips available from dozens of manufacturers and doesn't require any proprietary technologies or modulation schemes.
Proof-of-Location
Helium employs WHIP to outline a system for interpreting an IoT device's physical geolocation. This eliminates the need for expensive and energy-intensive satellite positioning hardware. This configuration enables proof-of-location, in which IoT devices can make immutable, secure, and verifiable claims about their location at a given point in time, which are recorded in the blockchain.
DWN
DWN represents a decentralized wireless network (DWN) that provides wireless access to the Internet for IoT devices by way of multiple independent miners. Within this network, the devices are the hardware with a radio chip and WHIP-compatible firmware. The network's miners provide wireless coverage to the network by bridging the WHIP with routers and the internet applications. In exchange, the miners receive HNT tokens. Devices spend the HNT tokens to pay the Miners, who send data to and from the Internet. Devices' private keys are stored in commodity key-storage hardware, and public keys are stored in the blockchain.
Helium's Consensus Mechanism
Helium network uses a combination of proof-of-coverage and proof-of-serialization. Proof-of-Coverage proves the veracity of miners in a physical space, and proof-of-serialization ensures that miners are accurately representing their time in relation to others on the network. Then this proof is used to achieve consensus on a blockchain network.
Key Features
It connects to anything.
The Helium Network is the world's largest and most rapidly expanding contiguous wireless network in history.
Open Source
It is based on open source technology and is run by an open alliance.
Scalable and cost-effective
It is a way to avoid paying for expensive cell contracts. A sensor on Helium can cost cents to run for a year.
LORAWAN-compatible
For streamlined development, it supports thousands of existing sensors, chipsets, and MCUs.
Use Cases
Enterprise solutions
The network provides secure, ubiquitous, and affordable wireless connectivity to enterprise devices connected to the network.
Roaming
LoRAWAN networks can use the Helium network to increase coverage density without the cost of additional gateway infrastructure. They can combine coverage and provide more connectivity for compatible sensors and devices.
Helium-powered vertical solutions
The network ecosystem hosts a range of vertical solutions built on Helium across use cases like smart agriculture, smart cities, environment monitoring, smart water monitoring, supply chain and logistics.
