How Data Credits work
Data Credits pay for sending data over the Helium network. They are created only by burning HNT, at the HNT price of that moment.
Because a Data Credit is fixed in dollars, a higher HNT price means less HNT is burned for the same amount of data, and a lower price means more.

Questions and answers
How much is one Helium Data Credit?
One Data Credit is fixed at $0.00001, so 100,000 Data Credits cost one dollar. The price does not move with HNT.
How many Data Credits do I get for one HNT?
The HNT price in dollars divided by $0.00001. At an HNT price of $2, one HNT burns into 200,000 Data Credits.
Can Data Credits be turned back into HNT?
No. Data Credits are made by burning HNT, they are not transferable and they cannot be converted back.
Does the halving change what data costs?
No. The Data Credit price is fixed in dollars. The halving changes how much new HNT is minted, not the price of using the network.
