Streamr Network

Streamr Network has achieved fully onchain distributed data streaming, enabling peer-to-peer information flow without centralized gatekeepers. Key features include: - End-to-end encryption by default - No central points of failure - Independent nodes spanning 17 languages globally - Enterprise-grade performance - Broadcast-quality streaming capabilities The network eliminates reliance on major cloud providers, with data flowing directly P2P. This infrastructure supports various applications including StreamrTV for trustless video delivery. Recent developments showcase the network's ability to handle high-performance streaming while maintaining true decentralization. The system requires attackers to compromise thousands of nodes simultaneously, making it significantly more secure than centralized alternatives. *Learn more at [streamr.network](https://streamr.network)*

Streamr's Q1 2025 marks a strategic pivot from infrastructure development to application creation. The project has completed its core decentralized network infrastructure and is now launching StreamrTV, a broadcasting app built on the Streamr Network. Key developments: - Foundational network infrastructure completion - Launch of StreamrTV broadcasting application - Strengthened partnerships in defence, video streaming, and DePIN sectors This shift aligns with current market conditions, including macroeconomic changes and evolving regulatory landscape.

Streamr Network has released Node version 102.1.1 with significant performance improvements: - Enhanced inspection capabilities - Improved flagging mechanism - Optimized voting performance - Updated Polygon RPC list for better reliability This update is **recommended for all Node Operators** to maintain optimal network functionality. The release follows February's 102.1.0 patch which addressed false flagging issues. [View full changelog](https://github.com/streamr-dev/network/blob/main/CHANGELOG.md#10211---2025-04-29) *Node operators should update their nodes as soon as possible to ensure network stability.*

Data privacy faces a critical decision point in 2025. Users must choose between two paths for their data flow: - **Corporate Farms**: Centralized systems that monitor and monetize user data - **Streamr Network**: Independent nodes offering equal speed without central control Streamr's system features: - End-to-end encryption by default - Keys never stored on central servers - Strategic key rotation preventing historical data access - True access revocation without backdoors The decentralized architecture provides a fundamentally different security model compared to traditional data harvesting systems.

Streamr has implemented comprehensive privacy features for data streams with end-to-end encryption by default. Key security features include: - Encryption keys never stored on central servers - Strategic key rotation prevents access to historical data - Permanent access revocation with no backdoors - Cryptographic signing chain prevents tampering - Peer-to-peer architecture with no central directory The platform's decentralized infrastructure creates a fundamentally different security model compared to traditional centralized systems where data is routinely harvested. This architecture supports censorship resistance while maintaining high performance at scale.

Streamr is expanding into decentralized video streaming through its new @Streamr_TV platform. The system leverages stream sponsorships to enable creators to broadcast over decentralized networks without traditional infrastructure. Key features: - Live streaming in 3 seconds without servers - Reduced costs through decentralized networks - No platform dependence or middlemen - Single-tap broadcasting capability The technology has been validated through [thechat.app](http://thechat.app), demonstrating the viability of serverless streaming. This development marks a significant step toward decentralized content distribution. *Integration with Subcast coming soon.*

Weaver Labs is integrating Streamr's decentralized data streaming into their Network-as-a-Service (NaaS) platform. The first deployment will be at Stadium MK, featuring: - Four real-time video streams for live matches - 5G network access for attendees - Exclusive camera angles and live highlights The partnership aims to develop a light client for tracking resource consumption and implement a pay-as-you-go model for edge network resources. This collaboration marks a significant step in democratizing access to reliable networks through Weaver Labs' Cell-Stack marketplace.
