Transforming Virtual Communication in Web3 📹
In the past few years, audio and video communication tools have become like bread and butter in our lives. Our increasingly digitally native habits and needs have pushed technology to transform the way we connect with friends, family, and colleagues. 🤝
Remember 2020? This was us, don’t lie.
Why do we love video calls over text messages? 📲
✅ Accessible, reliable, and efficient
✅ Smoother remote work, virtual education, and online socializing
✅ More immersive and engaging experiences than email, phone calls, or text messages
What do we use for a video call? 👀
Google Meet and Zoom? Or Whatsapp for a friend group call 👀 In a world where everything is digitized, these tools are the stars of the show. 🌟
They provide a level of richness that other forms of communication simply cannot match. Plus, they let us pick up on nonverbal cues and emotions that would be impossible to convey through text alone (now you know when your boss is getting annoyed and you need to pivot the conversation 🤓).
But..🤨
Have you ever thought about how these meetings and interactions can be improved and made more secure? How about taking our interactive experience to the next level with a seamless, real-time interaction that is also secure and decentralized? 💪
With everything becoming borderless and the rise of decentralization and Web3 technologies, there's a need for Web3 applications to offer communication capabilities that is more than just messaging. 📨
Enter Huddle01 📹
A decentralised platform working towards open, neutral, borderless and decentralised solutions while providing a seamless experience of real-time collaboration, communication and engagements.
This edition of This Week in Web3 is brought to you by Huddle01 ✨
Huddle01 is building a decentralized network for efficient, reliable and secure audio/video communication. Builders can leverage Huddle01's robust and easy-to-use SDKs to enable cross-chain audio and video communication between users.
In one of our recent issues, we talked about Spotify launching token-gated playlists. And we’ve also seen web2 companies introducing their own token-gated communities and airdrops. 🪂
Well, token gating is a method of securing access to a service or community by requiring a specific token or cryptocurrency to gain entry. 🚶
Think of it like a VIP club. You can't just waltz in unless you have the right credentials. In the case of Web3 applications, those credentials are tokens like NFTs or crypto. 🪙
Token gating has become increasingly popular in the Web3 world as a way to create exclusive communities, protect intellectual property, and secure online interactions. It's like putting a bouncer at the door of your digital party. 🚨
And while we’re talking about Huddle01, here another use-case for you — Token-gated video meetings, conferences or streams! Here’s how it helps:
Securely manage access to meetings and conferences and prevent unwanted intrusion.
Organizers can use tokens to incentivise participants like giving access to exclusive features, or virtual badges.
Tokens can be used to vote on agenda items, ask questions, or provide feedback in real-time.
You can also set up token-gated meetings and integrate Huddle01 into your website or DApp. ⛓ Here are the key features of Huddle01 that will interest all the developers out here:
Comprehensive toolkit: Huddle01 offers SDKs and APIs that let developers easily create and customize communication solutions for their users. 🪄
SDKs and APIs: The SDKs provide tools for building web and mobile apps, while the APIs give access to Huddle01's communication infrastructure. 🛠
