We are excited to announce that we are entering into a collaboration with Livepeer.

The Livepeer project aims to deliver a cryptoeconomically incentivized protocol and open media server for live video broadcasting, resulting in a cheaper, more scalable, and more decentralized live streaming solution than exists today.

“This collaboration offers us the opportunity to align our creator economy with Livepeer’s backend protocol and more rapidly achieve our vision of a fully decentralized economy that will empower content creators,” says Chris Barrett, CMO of Stream.

Eric Tang, Co-founder and CTO of Livepeer, goes into depth about our collaboration in his blog post “Token Economies, Stream Token, and Livepeer

“One of the new teams I’m excited about is the Stream Token team. Stream Token is a new project in the monetization layer, aiming to re-align the incentives for online video creators and applications. Due to the centralization of large social applications, content creators are often left at the mercy of large web applications, having little control over how the content is monetized. With Stream Token, creators can be paid directly based on the value they bring to the network. It creates a new economy that’s more transparent and more decentralized.

Stream Token is a great example of a token economy experiment.”
