> Decentralized Real-Time Communication Network with AI

dTelecom provides decentralized real-time communication infrastructure enabling developers to build voice, video, and chat applications with AI features.

dTelecom is a decentralized communication network for real-time voice, video, and chat. Users can run nodes to support communication services, integrate dRTC features into apps, and contribute bandwidth to the network. The platform focuses on reliability and privacy through distributed infrastructure, removing the need for central servers in communication tools.

The platform offers bandwidth-based pricing, supports large-scale video conferencing and livestreaming, and allows developers to deploy communication features without managing servers. (Live)
- [Video SDK](https://thegrid.id/profiles/dtelecom_org): Video SDK enables developers to build live video streaming and conferencing applications on decentralized infrastructure. The platform supports up to 100,000 participants with transparent bandwidth-based pricing and open-source components. (Developer Tooling, Live)

## Assets

- [dTelecom (DTEL)](https://thegrid.id/profiles/dtelecom_org): DTEL is the utility token of the dTelecom network built on Solana. It is used to pay for decentralized communication services, stake to operate network nodes, participate in governance decisions, and earn rewards for contributing bandwidth and infrastructure. Node operators receive DTEL for providing server resources that enable voice, video, and chat applications to run without centralized servers, creating a distributed alternative to traditional real-time communication platforms. (Utility)
