Excuse me, could you elaborate on what has happened specifically to Helium Network Token (HNT) mining recently? I've noticed some changes in the 
market and am curious about the reasons behind it. Have there been any updates to the mining algorithms, changes in the network's difficulty, or new regulations affecting miners? Additionally, have there been any notable changes in the value of HNT or its adoption by businesses and individuals? I'd appreciate your insights on this matter.

    IOT serves a dual purpose within the Helium ecosystem, acting as both an incentive and a governance token.
