The Rise of Web3 Video Streaming

Video streaming has become one of the most popular use cases of the internet over the last two decades, with a current market value of over $670 billion.

In this write-up, we briefly highlight the challenges associated with traditional video streaming platforms and analyze how Web3 technologies can help to resolve them.

Let's dive in:

Since the early 2000s, video streaming has undergone significant transformations, moving from the basic distribution systems of the past to the sophisticated ones we have today.

Currently, many traditional streaming platforms rely heavily on centralized servers and content delivery networks (CDNs) to distribute content to viewers worldwide.

While this structure is quite efficient at handling the video streaming demands of end users, it comes with various limitations, such as:

▪️ High Latency

▪️ Bandwidth Bottlenecks

▪️ Censorship Vulnerabilities

▪️ Content Manipulation

These drawbacks have led to increasing calls for an improved structure that can effectively handle the daily demands of billions of streamers, which is where Web3 video streaming comes in.

Web3 video streaming is a new paradigm in the field of online media delivery that leverages blockchain technology, decentralized networks, and real-time protocols to create a more efficient, secure, and interactive video streaming experience for streamers.

Web3 video streaming not only addresses the limitations of traditional streaming platforms but also introduces new features that empower both content creators and streamers.
