About Verve:

Verve takes everything you know about content streaming platforms and flips it on its head, by providing a decentralized streaming solution that prioritizes content creators and their audiences, and provides them with the tools they need to flourish.

Built on the ultra high-speed Velas blockchain, Velas provides a streaming solution that enables creators to better brand, monetize, and distribute their content, while ensuring viewers are rewarded for their time and engagement.

Some of its unique benefits include:

  • Watch to Earn: Allows those that engage with the platform to earn rewards for their time and efforts plus referral-based bonuses.
  • Stream to Earn: Anybody, anywhere can earn revenue from their content with no minimum withdrawal thresholds. Grow your audience and grow your revenue.
  • Fair split: Unlike centralized platforms which often take a more than 50% cut on any revenue their creators generate, Verve takes just a minor cut used for essential platform operations, growth, and sustainability.
  • Stream mirroring: Creators can easily mirror their streams from a variety of other platforms to help grow their audience on Verve and minimize barriers to entry.
  • NFT options: Verve allows creators to create, distribute, and easily monetize their own NFT collections through a variety of built in NFT tools.

What Problems Does Verve Solve?

Despite the tremendous growth of the online content and live streaming industry, the viewers and the content creators continue to get the short end of the stick as far as revenue share goes.

Indeed, the majority of popular live streaming and content sharing platforms, including the likes of YouTube, Twitch, and Instagram, take a large cut of the ad revenue generated from their creators’ videos. Others, including TikTok, don’t share ANY advertising revenue with their creators — instead running very limited and selective monetization schemes.

We find this to be unacceptable. While platforms like YouTube and Twitch have grown to be multi-billion dollar behemoths, the creators that helped them get there have been left shorthanded.

Verve solves this by sharing the vast majority of the platform’s earnings with content creators and users, while reserving just a relatively small chunk for platform operations, growth, advertising, etc.

Beyond this, Verve offers an array of innovative tools and features that help creators diversify their revenue streams, better engage with their audiences, control and brand their content/channels, and more.

How Does Verve Fit in the Current Ecosystem?

The live streaming industry is widely projected to grow at a phenomenal rate in the coming years, and increasingly establish itself as a major content delivery medium — gradually garnering more attention than traditional media and broadcast television.

However, the rampant growth of centralized platforms threatens to undermine the core tenets that make live streaming so powerful — namely diversity, user focus, community engagement, and a focus on quality — by greedily hoarding the revenue creators generate, placing extreme limitations on their content, and unfairly suppressing the content of some users (i.e. algorithm bias).

Verve tackles these challenges head-on by leveraging the unique capabilities of the Velas blockchain with a powerful streaming technology suite to provide a platform that creators and their audiences will be proud to call home.

Tokenomics

Token Utility

The VERVE token is designed to sit at the crux of the Verve platform and provide one of the main value drivers for creators, users, and advertisers.

Some of the primary utilities will include:

  • Staking to increase Watch-to-Earn percentage, reduce platform ads, and unlock exclusive early-bird rewards (inc badges, NFTs and bonuses).
  • Donate to streamers/creators, unlock exclusive features, and incentivize high quality content production.

As new features, tools, and services are rolled out, the VERVE token will continue to play an integral role in ensuring users are rewarded for their contributions to the platform while baking in systems to ensure demand always exceeds supply.
