Last week, Huddle01 hosted an exclusive AMA on Huddle01 Spaces with the Arbitrum and Caldera teams to discuss the launch of Huddle01’s dRTC Chain (L3) on Arbitrum, powered by Caldera. We had an exciting panel of speakers featuring Caldera CEO, Katz, Chase Allred - Partnerships at Offchain Labs, Churro - Community Manager at Offchain Labs, and our very own Ayush, Susmit and Vaibhav. Here's a quick round up of everything that went down during the AMA.
What's Huddle01's Mission?
Huddle01 is building the first DePIN for real-time communication, a network designed for scalability, privacy and performance. The DePIN Network comprises of the supply side - Media Node Operators who contribute their unused internet bandwidth to help route audio/video packets, and the demand side - that consists of applications and services built on Huddle01's dRTC Network, consuming the bandwidth to enable seamless audio/video connectivity for their users.
Our mission is to enable open, neutral, and borderless communication with a self-designed decentralized infrastructure governed by the Huddle01 dRTC Protocol. We aim to give power back to the people instead of centralized data centres who have monopolized the market by exerting unilateral price and supply dominance.
As Susmit mentioned in the AMA, “dRTC aims to change communication how Bitcoin did to finance and how Ethereum did to legal contracts.” The dRTC network is designed to bring RTC(real-time communication) on-chain and provide ownership to users while fostering accessibility and innovation across multiple fields.
Current RTC systems route data through servers, which can lead to potential bottlenecks. dRTC changes this by transporting data through distributed nodes, away from central entities. This not only enhances data security but also reduces the travel distance and cost of data transmission.
Companies currently pay exorbitant amounts to cloud providers like AWS, Google Cloud, Microsoft Azure to route audio/video packets. If these companies operated on the dRTC network, costs could be reduced by up to 95%, considering the decentralized architecture of the network and the scalability it provides.
Huddle01 dRTC L3 Genesis
A critical component required for the success of the dRTC Network is the assurance of transparent and equitable operations. These operations must be carried out in an isolated environment that remains unaffected by any other app or protocol, ensuring transparency in global network state changes.
Transitioning to a Node-to-Node model to process RTC media with Media Nodes, the dRTC Chain is crucial for verifying off-chain computations, managing consensus algorithms, and ensuring timely state changes and incentives in the dRTC network.
The dRTC Chain is specifically optimized for high-performance, real-time interactions, making it ideal for applications like gaming and social platforms that require high-volume and low-cost transactions. This optimization perfectly positions the dRTC Network, which is inherently DePIN in nature, to support applications that are both financially and socially oriented.
Why Arbitrum?
Given the custom infrastructure of dRTC and its deployment requirements, we needed a secure, widely compatible, and reliable chain.
Arbitrum’s Orbit and Nitro stacks are highly customizable. The benefits of Orbit for dRTC include dedicated throughput, EVM compatibility, and isolated chain operations, ensuring predictable gas costs and efficiency. These features align perfectly with our network's requirements.
Additionally, Nitro’s Stylus is a significant upgrade to the ecosystem, allowing developers to build and deploy in multiple languages (Rust, C, C++, and Solidity). This fosters more experimentation and development on the dRTC network.
Caldera as the RaaS
Caldera helps launch customized dedicated L2s and L3s with super scalable infrastructure. The Caldera team assists with defining goals, providing recommendations and stacks for a product, and helping determine the best chain for deployment to get testnet and mainnet ready within minutes.
They handle monitoring, security, and indexing, ensuring a good developer experience for new chains. This allows us to focus on strengthening our network while they manage deployment.
Incentivized Testnet - What Does It Mean for the Community?
The testnet (coming soon) will allow community members to interact with the Huddle01 dRTC network, build and test their products, and provide honest feedback. They can run media nodes, and the dRTC network can become the foundation of real time communication for the new internet.
