Huddle01 has launched sales of Node Keys, granting the right to operate media nodes on the DePIN network.
This initiative is part of the project’s broader strategy to expand its decentralized ecosystem for real-time voice and video communication. The NFTs are themed as characters from a fictional battle against the “CloudLords” and provide access to tHUDL rewards, discounts, and bonuses.
How the Network Works and What Nodes Provide
Each media node in the Huddle01 network handles the transmission of video and audio signals. In return, operators receive rewards in the form of tHUDL tokens. During the project’s second testnet, the Huddle01 Meet application recorded 250 million minutes of use and over 150,000 users. Now, the team is launching a full-fledged network with an economy centered around node operation.
The NFT keys are limited in number — around 1,000 units. Each costs $340 or 0.1 ETH and can be purchased via card or crypto, including multi-chain payments. There are no restrictions on the number of purchases per user.
Characters and Rarity Levels
NFT characters are divided into five categories:
- The Vanguard of Latency (Essential).
- The General of Open Access (Essential).
- The Guardian of Privacy (Supreme).
- The Sentinel of Uptime (Epic).
- The Ultimate HUDLER (Legendary).
The higher the rank, the greater the rewards and bonuses. The base yield is up to 5 tHUDL per day per node. The team also promises:
- Increased rewards in the future.
- Access to better HUDL swap rates.
- Commission from fund delegation.
Pre-Sale and Minting Conditions
The pre-sale runs from May 28 to June 4, 2025. The official mint begins on June 6. To participate in the pre-sale, users must:
- Verify their email.
- Select the number of keys.
- Make a 20% non-refundable down payment.
Participants receive a 10% discount, access to a raffle for additional keys, and participation in a referral program. Pioneer Node holders receive an additional 3% discount.
Referral Program and Network Launch
The referral program is only available during the pre-sale. Terms include:
- 5% in tHUDL for buyers using a referral link.
- 5% in USDC for the referrer.
- Only users with a pre-order can participate.
After minting concludes, the NFT drop process begins:
- Email verification.
- Wallet connection.
- NFT claiming and reveal.
- Rewards and commissions distribution.
Then, node activation and setup will commence with partners through a Node as a Service (NaaS) model. Operators will earn rewards for stable traffic transmission.
According to the Huddle01 team, the launch of the node network and NFT keys marks the beginning of a decentralized alternative to cloud-based communication. By rewarding traffic handling, ensuring accessibility, and maintaining independence, the project aims to build infrastructure for direct, peer-to-peer communication.
