Huddle01 Node Sale Whitelist Opens Today, After Hosting 7 Million Minutes of Video Calls

 Node sale will build the network to power decentralized real-time communications that can compete with the likes of Zoom and Google Meet

Huddle01, a decentralized real-time communications (dRTC) leader, opened its node sale whitelist today. Huddle01 is the first Decentralized Physical Infrastructure Network (DePIN) for RTC or audio and video conferencing. Huddle01 coordinates unused internet bandwidth through node operators to enable seamless audio-video communication via its innovative decentralized network.

Huddle01 has hosted over 7 million minutes of meetings across more than 100,000 events since its inception. Adding nodes to the network will increase connectivity in key new markets and enable buyers of node licenses to own and operate a part of Huddle01 dRTC Network, and earn rewards.

Logical DePIN: Nodes lead to improved latency

Huddle01 Media Nodes – the atomic unit of Huddle01’s dRTC network – provide the necessary bandwidth to encode, decode and route audio/video packets for uninterrupted audio and video communication across the globe.

Unlike most DePINs, Huddle01 is built from the demand side, addressing the high operational costs and geographical latency issues faced by centralized RTC networks, solving a real consumer problem.

By reducing the reliance on centralized data centers, Huddle01 also minimizes developers’ server costs for audio and video calls by up to 95% compared to AWS, ensuring high-performance communication is cost-effective.

“Our media nodes will expand a network that can outperform the incumbent web2 competitors on latency. We have already done this in areas where there is a large cluster of nodes, including in New York City,” says Ayush Ranjan, CEO of Huddle01.

Huddle01’s native app Huddle01 Meet integrates web3-native tools, allowing users to connect wallets, use NFT profile pictures as avatars, and host token-gated meetings. Video recordings can be securely stored on the InterPlanetary File System (IPFS), emphasizing the platform’s commitment to decentralization and security.

Led by CEO and Co-Founder, Ayush Ranjan, and Co-Founder and CTO, Susmit Lavania, Huddle01 has an experienced team with 15+ years in RTC and 5+ years of token engineering. Key leadership positions at Huddle01 are held by alumni of BlockScience, Consensys, Polygon, Cardano, Persistence, CoinDCX, and Guardian Link.

Ripple Price Analysis: How Low Can XRP Go if it Loses the $0.5 Support?

  Ripple’s recent price action reflects a cautious market, with a temporary rebound from the critical $0.5 support zone toward the 200-day moving average. However, a rejection at this level could solidify the ongoing bearish trend. XRP Analysis By  Shayan The Daily Chart On the daily chart, XRP faced renewed selling pressure after failing to sustain gains near the 200-day moving average at $0.57. This level has acted as a strong resistance, and a breakdown below the 200-day MA suggests that sellers are attempting to push the price lower. Following the decline, Ripple found support at the significant $0.5 level, a historically critical area that has consistently served as a defensive zone for buyers over the past year. Currently, the asset is retracing toward the 200-day MA, but another rejection at this level would likely complete the pullback and lead to further declines, potentially targeting the $0.46 mark.
