Castr and THETA.tv Partner up to Enable Blockchain-Powered Game Multistreaming

Castr is a video streaming provider that offers services for livestreaming, multistreaming, video-on-demand (VOD) hosting, and IP camera streaming. We’ve recently added THETA.tv, powered by Theta Network into our livestream publish destinations list.

THETA.tv is a crypto-powered game streaming platform that allows users to stream games, watch livestreams, earn cryptocurrency, and donate to streamers.

From now on, video game enthusiasts can use Castr to stream to THETA.tv—along with other 30+ platforms that Castr provides (Facebook Live, YouTube Live, Periscope, DLive, Twitch, NiMO TV, and so on).

Streamers can earn cryptocurrency to spend on THETA.tv subscriptions, merchandise, or gaming gears. The audience can support their favorite streamers through subscriptions and donations of TFuel.

TFuel, or Theta Fuel, is a real-world cryptocurrency that THETA.tv users can earn by watching streams. As viewers watch game streams, THETA.tv will utilize the excess upload bandwidth to share the stream with other viewers.

Castr x THETA.tv technology highlights:

• Livestream to multiple gaming platforms including YouTube Live, Facebook Gaming, Twitch, THETA.tv, etc.
• Broadcast high-quality and low-latency video streams from Castr
