AudioX: Future of Internet Calling
Huddle01 is building the future of communication systems by aiming to decentralize the entire communication stack one step at a time. As Messaging eventually got decentralized by Dapps like XMTP, Waku, and Daakiya, it's only natural the next step of innovation would be a Wallet-to-Wallet calling system.

Streaming with Livepeer
The pandemic made us sit at home, stuck to movies, series, and in most cases, following a creator who live-streams a game or a reaction to an amazing piece of content.This actually changed the distribution of how much internet is actually in video format and it makes up about 80% of the Internet.

SWIFT: The International Payments Messenger
Assume you're a 1970s guy who wants to send money to his cousin in a foreign country via bank transfers. You want to send it as a birthday present because, as we all know, people change when they travel to other countries and flaunt accents they don't have.

What is Interoperability?
Interoperability is the new buzz for most people in the web3 space. This word is also used in major league discussions where software is used. Let's understand interoperability with an example, but before that let's map what you'll find so that if you want, you can skip through obvious sections that you know!

Wormhole for Protocols
When we talk about the internet, everything happens according to a set of rules that govern how things will be executed. A browser sends a request for information to a server and gets the address of the information on the internet in return.

Wormhole for DeFi Ecosystems
Decentralized finance (DeFi) refers to the use of blockchain technology and smart contracts to enable financial services such as lending, borrowing, trading, and payments, without the need for intermediaries such as banks or other traditional financial institutions. DeFi aims to create a more open, transparent, and accessible financial system where anyone with an internet connection can participate.

Wormhole for Developers
Blockchain development is making leaps and bounds of progress, but we remain far away from mainstream adoption. The end user is still confused, and communication between two blockchains is still problematic. They often need to resort to centralized alternatives, which defeats the entire purpose of switching to decentralized solutions.

Best Blockchain Use Cases for IRL Events
It wasn't because a scientist wanted to do some calculations or a writer wanted to write a legendary story. It was actually an accountant who just wanted to keep track of grains, live stock, and other goods in a kingdom. Writing was first developed to maintain a ledger or, more specifically, to keep track of accounts.

Wormhole: A deep dive
Before 2020, Blockchains had two major problems - Tokens are hard to move between blockchains without relying on centralized exchanges for bridging and swapping tokens. Decentralized applications (DApps) and smart contracts on different blockchains cannot communicate with each other. So, how to solve these problems? The solution is to make blockchain networks interoperable and make cross-chain communication possible.
