GEORGETOWN, Cayman Islands, Aug. 22, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Xai Foundation, a core contributor to the gaming-centric blockchain network, Xai, today announced a strategic partnership with Huddle01, a decentralized Real-Time Communications (dRTC) Network to provide low-cost connectivity to developers.

Combining Huddle01's dRTC tech with Xai's open and reliable gaming infrastructure, this partnership is set to foster an unparalleled gaming experience with more intuitive, accessible, and innovative games. Players can communicate with each other efficiently, enhancing the gameplay and reducing friction. Developers can truly unleash their creativity and not worry about expensive costs that come with traditional Unity SDKs.
