The market has been forecast to reach $4.26 billion by 2028. But there’s also more that can be done in this market: blockchain can deliver more value for the live streaming industry. This is where the StreamCoin blockchain comes in.
What is StreamCoin Blockchain?
StreamCoin is a cryptocurrency designed to run on the StreamCoin blockchain though currently on Binance Smart Chain. The blockchain is dedicated to creating a connection between streamers and viewers without any third-party alliance.
Any platform that uses this blockchain will open a new ecosystem where users can easily send donations or pay for the streaming services they use in crypto. These operations will be done in a fast, secured, and transparent network. So with the StreamCoin network, peer-to-peer interactions can exist between users and streamers.
Features of the StreamCoin Blockchain
StreamCoin blockchain is governed by StreamCoin (STRM), a BEP-20 token (currently), which is the native currency of the StreamCoin blockchain and will use the Proof of Stake Authority (PoSA) consensus algorithm, a hybrid of Delegated Proof of Stake and Proof of Authority.
This protocol gives the blockchain a unique advantage of being fast and will require cheap transaction fees. STRM will have a total supply of 4,520,000,000 tokens and will allow cross-chain swap between StreamCoin blockchain and other networks like Fantom, Avalanche, Binance Smart Chain, Polygon, and Ethereum.
On its allocation, Private Sale, Public Sale, Ecosystem and Marketing, Company Allocation, and Advisors & Partners will take 38.94%, 11.06%, 11.06%, 29.2%, and 9.73% respectively.
GaStream (GSTRM) is the secondary native token for the StreamCoin network. It is also built using the BEP-20 token standard on the Binance Smart Chain (BSC) and will serve as a utility token to support StreamCoin.
GaStream will be used to pay for gas fees and node forming rewards when Stream chain (Mainnet 2.0) is launched. The initial total supply of the token is 16,950,000,000, and will be distributed as follows: 66.66% for public sale; 33.33% for future rewards like yield farming, watching ads on MeiTalk, real research surveys, and node forming on Stream chain.
