Background

Streamr Network

On the Streamr Network, DATA is staked and exchanged for reliable bandwidth. This bandwidth market is brokered through stream Sponsorships. Sponsorships are smart contracts that connect off-chain data streaming with on-chain DATA token incentives. The result is a decentralized live CDN, capable of outperforming the Web2 giants on cost, reliability and speed.
