## Staking

To vote in the Helium Network for changes to either the Network at large, the IoT (LoRaWAN)
subnetwork, or the Mobile (5G) subnetwork, a participant must stake HNT.

Additionally, veHNT can be [delegated](/governance/staking-with-helium-vote#delegating-stakes) to

### veIOT {#veiot}

The [IOT network](https://heliumvote.com/iot) focuses on the growth and development of IoT devices
and applications. Delegating your HNT IOT network grants veIOT which can be used to vote on matters
specific to the IOT network. For example, a proposal affecting proof of coverage behavior for IOT
Hotspots.

### veMOBILE {#vemobile}

The [MOBILE network](https://heliumvote.com/mobile) is dedicated to the growth and expansion of the
Helium Network in the mobile and telecommunications sectors. Staking your HNT to the Mobile network
grants veMOBILE which can be used to vote on matters specific to the Mobile network. For example, a
proposal affecting proof of coverage behavior for Mobile Hotspots.
