Hi Livepeer folks - I have been in/around the project from early days and am excited about the emerging real-time AI roadmap.
The strategy aligns perfectly with our plans for the re-launch of FourToTheFloor (FTTF) a long running late night youth culture and music series we produced for Channel 4 here in the UK.
We’ve been working on an approach to rethink the project from the ground up - funding, rights, distribution and the experience in general - including streaming workflows.
As part of this work we (decent partners) recently launched the decent/dUSD stablecoin with our partners Brale who are a US regulated issuer that enable partners to share in the yield generated as they drive adoption.
The stablecoin is live across 10+ chains inc Arbitrum. Think Tether, with a soul.
Our home base is on Kusama, which is part of the wider Polkadot tech ecosystem - it was a network founded to fund and support artistic endeavours and hacker cultures that we’ve been steadily evolving through on-chain governance to be more a more supportive and less extractive system.
One of our technical partners Virto are building out advanced DAO infrastructure with their Krievo parachain, which abstracts much of the complexity of current blockchain systems and serves as the organisational foundations for the network of chains, DAOs, companies and collectives making dUSD their primary payment rails.
These DAOs cooperatively govern the underlying network in a 1org1vote model and all use dUSD.
We’re steadily building out a cooperative of aligned groups around the world and are redirecting yield towards funding novel projects and innovation - at the core we hope to rethink the funding models of current public service broadcasters such as the BBC and Channel 4.
We’d love to discuss collaboration opportunities with you guys as we’re going to be making Livepeer central to the video / livestreaming and real-time AI parts of our plans.
See us as an aligned creative partner who’d love to help you push the limits of the tech through experimentation and broader strategic alignment of underlying incentives to create a supportive foundation for great creative talent to find and make a home.
I’ve attached a brief intro to our plan to move FourToTheFloor on-chain.
Not sure of next steps, wanted to open a conversation… some starters to avoid any awkward silence…
- Co-financing creative experiments + projects
- Developing ideas within FTTF that leverage Livepeer’s latest tech + experiments.
- dUSD stablecoin integrations
- Multi-chain interop, scaling
- On-chain governance learnings and DAO infra stuff.
I can’t add links to your discourse forum otherwise i’d share more here.
