Huddle01 Raises $6.6 Million from Leading Investors and Launches $HUDL ICO

In the world of decentralized communications, a new significant event has emerged: the Huddle01 project, a decentralized real-time communications network (dRTC), has successfully raised $6.6 million in a new funding round. Investments came from well-known funds such as Hivemind Capital Partners, LongHash Ventures, Protocol Labs, Offchain Labs, Fenbushi Capital, HashKey Capital, M31 Capital, East Ventures, Good News Ventures, Superscrypt, Kernel Ventures, a_capital, and others. Among the angel investors are Balaji Srinivasan, Stani Kulechov, Juan Benet, Vinny Lingham, and others. This round highlights the growing interest in DePIN (decentralized physical infrastructure networks) for audio and video communication, which Huddle01 positions as a cheaper and more efficient alternative to centralized services like AWS or Google Cloud - up to 95% cheaper.

Huddle01 is already showing impressive results in the testnet: over 3.3 million transactions, more than 170,000 active users, 1.2 billion meeting minutes, 100,000+ mobile app downloads, and 204,000+ active users. The project is built on Arbitrum Orbit with Caldera integration, optimized for gaming, social apps, AI, and metaverses. Key products include Huddle01 Meet (video conferencing), Huddle Cloud (affordable real-time infrastructure), Farhouse (spaces and streams), and HuddlePad, a launchpad for tokens based on Uniswap's Continuous Clearing Auction (CCA).

Today, February 5, 2026, the $HUDL ICO has started on HuddlePad (https://huddlepad.xyz/hudl-ico) and Uniswap. This is a public sale of 20 million HUDL tokens (10% of the total supply of 200 million) through the CCA mechanism, which ensures smooth pricing without front-running and volatility. Floor price – 0.1 USDC, floor FDV - $20 million USD. Participation is open to all (except countries under OFAC sanctions), no minimum bid, maximum – 250 ETH. The auction will last 5 days. $HUDL is the native token of the network, used for payments, staking, node rewards, governance, and DeFi. A portion of the network's revenue will go towards buyback/burn of tokens.

The company plans to launch the Mainnet and Token Generation Event (TGE) for $HUDL in the first quarter of 2026, with a potential airdrop for node operators (21% of the TGE supply).Previously, Huddle01 conducted a node sale (46,900 nodes, starting from $320), allowing early participants to access tokens at a discount. The project already has real usage: 840+ million minutes of service, thousands of nodes online, and partnerships with XAI, Aethir, etc.On Polymarket, bets are already being placed on the Fully Diluted Valuation (FDV) of $HUDL one day after launch. Odds for FDV over 10M - 75%, over 20M - 43%, over 50M - 16%, over 100M - 14%, over 200M - 4%, over 400M - 2%. Total trading volume - $34,810, indicating high community interest.

The community is reacting positively: on X @huddle01com, recent posts about fake tokens, minting NFTs for bonuses (up to 1.5x allocation), and CCA details are gaining thousands of views. Influencers like @FabiusDefinote the real activity and unique launch mechanism, planning to participate. Huddle01 could become a disruptor in communications for Web3, combining DePIN with real use cases in gaming, AI, and socials.

This event underscores the trend towards decentralizing infrastructure, where Huddle01 leads with real metrics and strong backing. Follow updates on official channels to avoid scams.
