Welcome to the first edition of Bolt Beat! This fortnightly update will give you an inside look at what’s happening at BoltOS, including new features, content, creators, and our exciting journeys into the frontier of immersive content.
Feature Update
Bolt Arena
We’re excited to unveil Bolt Arena, a new platform for immersive content. Two participants go head-to-head in various formats, while viewers can watch, chat, and support their favourite player by hitting the PLUS button.
Proceeds from the PLUS pool are then distributed to the participants, the community, and to support the platform. A closed beta is in development and progressing swiftly, thanks to our existing BoltOS infrastructure.
Pivotal
Formerly known internally during development as BoltChain, our new blockchain has been rebranded as Pivotal. This high-utility DePIN L2 blockchain is designed to unlock new opportunities for content creation, immersive streaming, audience interaction, and sustainable economies for creators. More to come!
