What are Huddle01 Nodes?
A Huddle01 Node is code you can run on your device to power the network using idle bandwidth. Together, nodes form a mesh network, routing data through the shortest path for low latency and faster transfer.
By running or delegating a node, you don’t just support the network, you also earn from it.The Huddle01 node sales will enable node operators and enthusiasts to contribute to the ecosystem.The previous phases of Node Sales had a strong response from the community where about 4000 nodes were sold within matter of a few days.
Node Sales Phase 3: The Guardian Pass
Following the overwhelming support in earlier phases, where thousands of nodes were sold within days, and growing demand for the ultra-low latency data routing, we’re opening the doors once again for community Members to turn their idle bandwidth into powering the network and earning rewards. Thus, the phase 3 of node sales with USDC APR that is redeemable daily is going live!

How to Join the Huddle01 Network
Option 1: How to Run a Node
If your system meets the requirements (4 CPU cores, 4GB RAM, 32GB storage, 250 Mbps internet), you can:
Launch a Node with the CLI guide
Create a Pool and delegate keys with the Pool guide
Accept Delegations
If you run a node (e.g., 8 vCPUs, 1 Gbps bandwidth), you can accept delegations and earn commission. Each node can host up to 40 keys. To attract delegations, maintain high uptime and fair commission rates.
Option 2: Delegate Your Node Keys
If you don't want to manually run the nodes on your device, you can delegate your Node Keys to Foundation Pools or other Hudlers. You still earn rewards, minus a commission fee set by the node operator. You can check out the list of pools live and their commission details here. We have created this quick reference guide to help you with the same.
P.S. You get the rewards only if your nodes are live and running - either by yourself or by delegation.
How will the Referral Program Work?
The referral program allows node buyers to earn commissions and rebates by inviting others to purchase nodes. It is structured as a 2-level referral system.
User A buys a Node Key → gets a referral link.
User B uses that link to buy:
User A earns 7.5% USDC commission
User B gets a 5% rebate in $tHUDL
User C joins via User B’s link:
User B earns 7.5% USDC commission
User C gets a 5% rebate in $tHUDL
User A also earns an extra 5% USDC commission
Important: The referral program is limited to two levels only. Beyond User C, no further commissions or rebates are distributed up the chain. Existing Node Holders can also participate in the Referral Program.
Phase 3 of Huddle01 Node Sales is your chance to step in early, secure liquid USDC APR alongside $tHUDL rewards, and join a growing network already powered by thousands of nodes and millions of real-time minutes. With the Guardian Pass, you can run or delegate a node, earn daily, and stand at the frontlines of the Vanguard of Open Connectivity. The sale goes live on 1st October, don’t miss it.
Frequently Asked Questions:
Is there a cap on how many nodes one can mint this round?
No, there are no caps. You can mint as many as nodes as you choose to.
How does the APR work?
The USDC APR is based on the principal investment made by the node buyer eg. on the node price $400. If you run multiple nodes, each node will earn 5.6% USDC APR on this amount.
Do previous node purchasers get a discount? If so, how much & how?
Yes, they will get a 10% discount at the time of sale. Furthermore, they have the option to upgrade existing nodes.
If I buy a node in the upcoming Phase 3 sale, will the rewards I previously accumulated be included in the 40% unlock, or is the 40% unlock only applicable to the new nodes?
The vesting term for all rewards you earn on the Incentivized Testnet is 40% TGE unlock and 6 month daily linear. So, the 40% TGE unlock applies to all your rewards regardless of whether you earned them via a Phase 3 node purchased today or with a Phase 1 or Phase 2 node purchased earlier.
How long will the APR be earned & when does it payout?
Both the USDC APR and the $tHUDL are deposited in the wallet at the end of the day. The USDC APR is liquid and can be withdrawn, if you choose to.
What are the differences in the Phase 3 Nodes compare to the Phase 1 & 2 ?
There is no technical difference between the Phase 3 Nodes and Phase 1 and 2 Nodes. The tech requirements and the node running process is the same. However, Phase 3 nodes offer a new USDC APR which allows one to earn liquid rewards. Nodes earn this 5.6% USDC APR alongside a tHUDL reward of up to 5 tHUDL/day.
