Stream Token

Stream Token was conceived as a way to finally allow digital media creators to earn a fair living from their work. Our team hailed from Harvard, Princeton, Stanford, and the inaugural Thiel Fellowship, and we combined cutting edge blockchain technology with a passion for creativity, entrepreneurship, and equitable income. We believe in the full potential of internet video streaming, which cannot exist until it’s a fair and opportune ecosystem for everyone - not just big streaming platforms. Existing platforms take up to 50% of a content creator's earnings, after creators pay out-of-pocket for expenses. Creators are often left penniless while the big platforms rake in the profits. Stream Token ultimately did not launch, and we open-sourced our technology in 2018.
