Peer-to-Peer streaming — how does that work?
StreamrTV generates secure, peer-to-peer broadcasts using streams on the decentralized Streamr Network. Your raw camera data is first protected with end-to-end encryption for privacy. This encrypted byte stream then travels through the interconnected mesh of viewers, which provides redundancy and resilience. As each new viewer joins the stream, they provide more bandwidth and new connection paths for subsequent viewers, allowing the broadcast to autoscale effortlessly.
Thanks to the hyper-scaling properties of the Streamr protocol, the system thrives under massive audience sizes — the more viewers join, the more efficient the network becomes. Unlike traditional setups that rely on costly CDNs, peer-to-peer streaming distributes the workload across participants. This not only delivers superior scalability but also gives StreamrTV a key competitive advantage by making live streaming much more affordable at scale.
How StreamrTV connects to DATA tokenomics
Node Operators are set to play a crucial role as StreamrTV evolves. Currently, each live broadcast forms a dynamic location-aware mesh distribution network composed of only the viewers. However, to ensure a more stable and higher-quality stream — especially under heavy load or in geographically sparse areas — dedicated Operator nodes become essential.
In a future release, broadcasts will be automatically sponsored, and Node Operators will be automatically staked to these sponsored broadcasts — as they go live. This aligns stream performance with token economics: broadcasters gain quality and reliability, while Node Operators are rewarded for delivering their dependable bandwidth to the stream. This update would usher in a reactive and dynamic, application-aware network that connects a user’s intent for a high quality of service to the Streamr Node Operators, that will compete to deliver it, by staking more DATA.
What about content moderation?
It’s important to distinguish between the Streamr Network and the applications built on top of it. The Streamr Network operates as a neutral infrastructure layer and does not enforce moderation.
However, applications utilizing the network can implement their own content policies. In the case of StreamrTV, which runs on the decentralized Streamr Network, moderation is applied at the application level. This may include blocking links and restricting the discoverability of illegal or fraudulent content within the StreamrTV interface.
This moderation strategy is in line with other decentralized media providers. However, due to the fundamental design of the Streamr Network, the data traffic itself on the network can not be censored or interfered with by anyone.
Users can use this form to report content that may be unlawful or infringe your rights, including copyright or other concerns.
What comes next?
