Joystream is a video platform protocol that revolutionizes video publishing, similar to how e-mail revolutionized mail and Bitcoin revolutionized money. On Joystream, all profiles, videos, and social interactions are hosted on a dedicated high throughput public blockchain. A user-controlled DAO (Decentralized Autonomous Organization) provides funding for creators and builders, as well as manages the storage and content delivery infrastructure. By leveraging this existing open network effect and infrastructure, developers can create new applications with trustworthy APIs, unlike the current closed incumbents. This allows for experimentation with innovative features, algorithms, and policies that can enhance the experience for creators and consumers. Unlike the current landscape where one company controls the entire experience, Joystream empowers creators to build their audience and business on a solid foundation. They can monetize their content by selling video NFTs (Non-Fungible Tokens) to their most dedicated fans and even issue a dedicated revenue share creator token to finance their creative projects.
