The Preface

Polkastream started with a unique vision of becoming an integrated and intelligently monetized over-the-top (OTT) streaming and Metaverse gaming platform hosted on Web 3.0 where users can listen to music and podcasts, watch movies and TV shows, as well as socialize and play 3D games in the Polkaverse.

Over the past year, Polkastream Studios in collaboration with ParaVentures has been achieving the following significant milestones:

  • Brand Development: Crafted and refined the Polkastream protocol’s brand, ensuring an innovative and distinct identity.
  • Legal and Intellectual Property: Successfully navigated trademark and patent registrations across multiple continents and countries to secure the Polkastream and Polkaverse innovations.
  • DAO Formation: Established the Polkastream Decentralized Autonomous Organization (PDAO), bringing together top-tier developers, blockchain experts, marketing strategists, community builders, business managers, and legal advisors.
  • Web 3.0 Community Building: Cultivated a thriving global Web 3.0 community of streamers and gamers and engaging with them across diverse social media platforms.

PDAO knows that a conceptually developed Discord server powered by in-house Artificial Intelligence (AI) bots is the perfect medium to establish and further grow a Web 3.0 community through user interaction and feedback.

With that in mind, the Polkastream Discord server at discord.gg/polkastream is developed and continuously improved where many community members socialize and participate in various rewarding activities

The Polkastream Community, AKA Polkastreamers

There is no doubt that a strong community can move mountains for a Web 3.0 project and more importantly, assist in maintaining a stable price and functionality for the project’s underlying crypto ecosystem. Taking that into consideration, PDAO initially incorporated various community development and marketing tactics on Telegram in an effort to build an early-stage community base. By initiating daily interactive chats, PDAO learned about new members’ interests and gathered priceless user feedback. PDAO also meaningfully engaged with community members to help with basic marketing for Polkastream such as Retweets and Quote Tweets of Polkastream’s concept, implementation, and partnerships. The very first $PSTR airdrop was even hosted on Telegram, and its recipients are excitedly waiting for the $PSTR Token Generation Event (TGE) to receive their 2,000 $PSTR.

With a community of nearly 2,000 Telegram members, PDAO recognized the need to expand its services through a customizable platform that could better accommodate the community’s needs, support level, and diverse interests. Consequently, PDAO first converted and expanded the Telegram community into 11 channels in the most commonly spoken languages, allowing culturally diverse members to learn about Polkastream’s concept, implementation, partnerships, and more. Here they are:

English | Arabic | Chinese | French | Hindi | Indonesian | Japanese | Korean | Portuguese | Russian | Spanish

The English channel serves as the primary platform for regular updates. The remaining 10 channels are dedicated to various languages and will be used by Polkastream protocol admins and ambassadors following the $PSTR TGE to engage with members about the project and provide localized support.

PDAO’s skilled team of programmers then built a customized Discord server with all the bells and whistles to deliver an unforgettable experience. The Discord server rewarded Polkastream with a strong and supportive community, welcoming hundreds of members in an impressive span of just two weeks — an admirable feat for any Web 3.0 startup!

The fact that the Discord server gained so much traction in so little time validated that there is exciting potential, as well as a full scope of interest and desire for an innovative and rewarding OTT streaming and Metaverse gaming platform hosted on Web 3.0. Today, PDAO continues to add features that are crucial for maintaining its growth. Join discord.gg/polkastream to take part in many $PSTR airdrops including a massive referral airdrop, provide feedback, and be part of a vibrant community as PDAO shapes the future of entertainment for billions of streamers and gamers worldwide.

The Polkastream Discord Server Key Features

Let us review the rapid rise of Polkastream’s Discord server which is attributed to the many successful in-house digital design, software development, marketing, and community development efforts executed by PDAO:

1. Chat with 24/7 Admin Support

The core function of any social media channel is to provide a space where people can chat freely and share ideas. This is why the Discord server’s Chat thread offers a respectful, fun, user-friendly, and efficient experience while supported and moderated by a team of expert admins 24/7.

To enhance the overall user support and experience, PDAO even built multifunctional AI bots for user administration and management, streaming and gaming activities, rewards and giveaways, providing quasi-instant responses to any user’s questions or requests, and much more.

Most excitingly, the Chat thread engages Polkastreamers with the core team through AMA (Ask Me Anything) sessions. As PDAO continues to further grow the Polkastream community, holding regular AMAs with the Founder CEO, COO, CIO, and the rest of the team has been an extremely effective and unique way to get the early members interested in the project development process. AMAs also help the team understand what is currently confusing the community and make the necessary clarifications. For instance, the team has allowed some Polkastreamers to listen in on meetings with potential Polkaverse Unreal Engine developers, as well as engage with the Business Technology Director during an AMA where he shared the Founder’s unique vision for Polkastream’s gaming Metaverse.

2. Listen to Music

Polkastream’s Discord server boasts a “radio” of sorts with its Music channel where anyone can listen to the current top hits as well as add their own favorite international songs to the queue. This gives Polkastreamers a chance to explore different cultures and music while engaging with their fellow community members in the Chat thread.

3. Watch Live Concerts

The Concerts channel is the spot to watch incredible live-streamed concerts from musicians around the world. From simple community concerts to larger collaborative concerts, Polkastream will ensure to stream a variety of music genres and content that appeal to its community.

4. Listen to Podcasts

Polkastream professionally curates podcasts by bringing talented live speakers from around the world. The Podcasts channel is designed to offer a variety of different audio and video podcasts including Web 3.0 education and awareness, AI, blockchain technology, careers, comedy, design, entrepreneurship, fashion and beauty, food, general and mental health, history, language learning, parenting, places and travel, sports, and many other topics.

The Podcasts channel’s initial focus is on educating Polkastreamers about Web 3.0 and the potential that Polkastream will offer as the leading Web 3.0 OTT streaming and Metaverse gaming platform powered by the $PSTR token.

Most excitingly, Polkastream is a community-run project, so PDAO will hire experts in different fields such as graphics and animation design, game development, video production, blockchain development, etc., to host educational classes for Polkastreamers based on their suggestions and interests.

5. Watch Movies and TV Shows

Like the Music channel, the Polkastream Discord server hosts its own “cinema” with Movie and TV Show nights where some of the most recent releases are showcased. The selection of movies and TV shows is chosen and streamed by Polkastreamers after messaging “/schedules” to the PolkastreamAI#3896 bot on Discord and requesting their weekly streaming choices. The community can then check which movies and TV shows will be streamed in the Schedules thread and enjoy some quality time together.

The Movie and TV Show channels have been designed to stream multiple content simultaneously. This gives the Polkastream community a multitude of options daily so that members remain entertained while the Polkastream OTT platform is being developed and integrated with immersive $PSTR rewards.

6. Stream Games

Any Discord member can go to the Polkaverse games channel and share live streams of themselves playing their favorite video games. This channel is a great precursor to what the Polkaverse will eventually become: a 3D open-world Metaverse where Polkastreamers can socialize, play games, attend various virtual events, own properties and landmarks and build on them, and much more.

The Polkaverse gamers will be valuable community assets during the minimum viable product (MVP) and minimum marketable product (MMP) development. These members will be selected to test Polkaverse with the team in many different phases of its development.

7. Weekly Content and Memes Design Contests

Polkastreamers are given an opportunity to share their creativity each week while being encouraged to add reactions, comments, and feedback to the content shared. Every Sunday, lucky random draw winners receive $PSTR rewards for their initiatives. The Polkastream community is lucky to have some talented graphic and animation designers who are sharing their designs in these Polkastream Discord threads and all other social media platforms.

8. Various Giveaways

Giveaways serve as compelling incentives for users to engage with and explore the Polkastream Discord server. PDAO is confident that once new members experience the vibrant array of streaming and gaming activities, along with exclusive pre-launch and TGE airdrops and marketing event giveaways, they will find themselves fully immersed and eager to stay.

The strategic use of giveaways not only attracts new members but also fosters long-term engagement within the Polkastream Discord server. By offering enticing rewards and creating a lively environment, PDAO ensures that each user finds exceptional value in their involvement, leading to sustained enthusiasm and commitment to the Polkastream community.

The Conclusion

PDAO’s innovative approach to integrating an OTT streaming platform with Metaverse gaming within the Web 3.0 ecosystem has not only established a dynamic and engaging community but has also set a new standard for user interaction and support. With a versatile Discord server offering 24/7 admin support, diverse content channels, and $PSTR rewards, PDAO has successfully fostered a vibrant environment for streamers and gamers alike. The seamless blend of music, live concerts, podcasts, movies/TV shows, and gaming, combined with community-driven initiatives and rewarding activities, underscores Polkastream’s commitment to revolutionizing digital entertainment and strengthening its global user base. As the project advances, ongoing engagement and feedback from the Polkastream community will be crucial in shaping the future of both the pioneering Discord server and Polkastream and Polkaverse products.
