CUPERTINO, Calif., June 21, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- DLive, the
world's first and largest streaming platform on blockchain,
announced today that it's launching on Android and is available for
download on Google Play and on the company's website. The platform,
which launched six months ago, has an active community of over
500,000 monthly active users who have paid a combined $2.6 million in crypto to creators in the form of
upvotes, gifts, and donations since launching.
DLive is a live streaming video community that's built on top of
the Steem blockchain. On DLive, the community determines what
content should be surfaced through an upvoting and flagging system.
As a decentralized platform, DLive does not take any revenue nor
fees from creators.
"Blockchain has enormous potential to change how people stream
and watch videos," said Charles Wayn, CEO of DLive. "Today, the
industry is dominated by a few massive companies who are
incentivised to take money from their creators and push ads into
content whenever possible. By decentralizing streaming, we can
democratize video content while giving a better experience to
viewers and creators. Creators on DLive also have a chance to find
an audience and not get not buried under millions of streamers, as
with larger platforms."
On DLive, creators can earn STEEM tokens by receiving upvotes on
their content and gifts from their fans. DLive also has a dedicated
content management team which manages over 2 million STEEM Power to
reward creators directly based on the quality of their videos.
Viewers can also earn tokens by upvoting content, making meaningful
comments, and referring new users to join DLive.
"DLive has revolutionised streaming," said David 'Tidy' Wyatt, a
streamer from England who has made
over $8,000 worth of STEEM on DLive
since January. "Coming from a site where earnings are directly
linked to your view count, DLive rewards its users based on
content. I have told many fellow partners about this site, and they
are loving it so far too."
"Platforms like DLive will be essential in disrupting the way
people consume media," said Ned
Scott, CEO of Steemit, which has a market cap of over
$430 million. "So far people really
seem to embrace DLive and we're very proud to have the platform on
Steem."
DLive was founded by Charles Wayn and Cole Chen in Cupertino. The company has over 20 members who
are located across four continents and 19 cities around the world.
DLive's Android app is available for download now on Google Play
and on their website.
