Maximizing Returns in Huddle01's Media Node Sale: Leveraging Node Key Delegation 🔵

Node Key Delegation significantly changes the Huddle01's Node Sale dynamics, opening doors for users to maximize their returns, reduce operational expense and participate in the growth of the dRTC Network. Read more about it in our latest blog below.

Node Sales have become a powerful strategy for bootstrapping decentralized networks, raising capital, involving community while establishing critical supply-side infrastructure. However, many Node Sales have deviated from their original goal, focusing more on capital generation than actual network growth.

Node Key Delegation is a game-changing mechanism that addresses key challenges in Node Sales, enhancing the utility of Node Keys and accelerating network success. By allowing key holders to delegate their rights to operate nodes to high-performing node operators, Node Key Delegation optimizes resource allocation, reduces operational costs, and fosters a more inclusive ecosystem.

Intro to Huddle01

Huddle01 is building the 1st DePIN for real-time communication, known as the dRTC Network. Media Nodes are the atomic unit of the dRTC Network, performing the critical process of supplying bandwidth and routing media streams. These Media Nodes earn $HUDL, the native token of the Huddle01 ecosystem, for their services. $HUDL plays a crucial role in incentivizing and rewarding node operators for their contributions to the network.

💡Assuming $20 as cost to run a node. The real cost would vary.

Before Node Key Delegation

Prior to the introduction of Node Key Delegation by Huddle01, the concept was simple: 1 Node Key = 1 Media Node.

The minimum requirements for a Media Node are:

  • 4 GB RAM

  • 4 vCPUs

  • 250 Mbps of bandwidth

The average monthly rental cost for a Media Node is approximately $20.

The earlier you buy in on the Huddle01 Node Sale, the lower will be the FDV or Market Cap and higher will be the returns. Let's consider two scenarios for someone lucky enough to secure Node Keys in the Tier 8 or Tier 9 (priced at $450-$500) during the Huddle01 Node Sale:

Scenario 1: Buying 10 Keys

  • Initial investment: $5,000

  • Monthly node expenses: $200 ($20 per node)

  • Potential earnings: Up to 1,500 $HUDL/month (5 $HUDL/day per key)

Scenario 2: Buying 1 Key

  • Initial investment: $500

  • Monthly node expense: $20

  • Potential earnings: Up to 150 $HUDL/month (5 $HUDL/day)

After Node Key Delegation

With Node Key Delegation, a Media Node can now accept up to 10 keys as delegates. This changes the economics significantly:

Scenario 1: Buying 10 Keys and Running a 4 vCPU Media Node

  • Initial investment: $5,000

  • Monthly node expense: $20

  • Potential earnings: Up to 1,500 $HUDL/month (5 $HUDL/day per key)

  • Result: 10x reduction in monthly recurring expenses

Scenario 2: Buying 1 Key and Running a 4 vCPU Media Node

  • Initial investment: $500

  • Monthly node expense: $20

  • With a single key, the Media Node can accept up to 9 additional keys as delegates. The node operator can charge a commission (e.g., 10%) on the rewards earned by the delegated keys.

  • Potential earnings with delegation: Up to 285.0 $HUDL/month (9.5 $HUDL/day, assuming a 10% commission from 9 delegates)

  • Result: 90% increase in rewards by accepting delegations

💡 With delegation, one can earn rewards from their keys without having to themselves run a node.

The number of Node Keys a Media Node can accept increases with more resources. For example, an 8 vCPU and 1 Gbps Media Node can accept up to 40 node keys as delegations.

With 40 keys, a node operator can spend just $40/month and earn 4x the rewards. Someone committing $40/month with a single key can increase their earnings by up to 195% through delegations.

Node Key Delegation significantly changes the Huddle01's Node Sale dynamics, opening doors for users to maximize their returns, reduce operational expense and participate in the growth of the dRTC Network. Whether one is a single key holder or managing multiple keys, delegation empowers them to optimize their investment.
