Pay Only for What You Watch
StreamFlow: Pay Only for What You Watch
- In today’s world of endless subscriptions, users often pay monthly or yearly fees for OTT platforms like Netflix or Hotstar — but rarely watch enough to get full value. StreamFlow changes that.
- Built as a decentralized pay-per-view streaming platform, StreamFlow ensures that users pay only for the exact minutes or hours they watch — not a second more. No idle subscriptions, no wasted money, no hidden renewals.
How It Works
- Each user connects their crypto wallet to access the platform.
- When they start watching a movie or show, a micro-payment channel automatically opens between the user and the platform using Yellow Network’s Nitrolite protocol.
- As playback continues, the system streams small payments per second/minute directly to the content provider.
- When the user pauses or stops watching, payments stop instantly — eliminating any overcharge or idle cost.
- Behind the scenes, StreamFlow leverages state channels and smart contracts for real-time micropayments, minimizing on-chain gas costs while maintaining full transparency and auditability.
Core Features
- Pay-Per-Second Model: Users pay dynamically based on actual watch time.
- Wallet-Based Access: Simple MetaMask connection — no credit cards, no recurring fees.
- Micro-Payment Channels: Powered by Nitrolite (ERC-7824) for instant, low-cost settlements.
- Smart Contract-Driven Transparency: Custody and Adjudicator contracts handle deposits, state transitions, and disputes automatically.
- Decentralized Ownership: Creators can upload content and receive revenue directly without intermediaries.
Tech Stack
- Frontend: React.js with real-time streaming integration.
- Blockchain: Ethereum Sepolia Testnet (scalable to Polygon mainnet).
- Smart Contracts: Nitrolite Custody.sol and Adjudicator.sol for secure, off-chain payment channels.
- Wallet Integration: MetaMask via Ethers.js for authentication and transaction signing. ** Why StreamFlow?** Subscription fatigue is real — millions pay for multiple platforms but use only a fraction of their value. StreamFlow redefines this experience by making streaming fair, flexible, and financially efficient. Watch 10 minutes? Pay for 10 minutes. Watch a full movie? Pay only for that. It’s the future of digital content monetization — on your terms.
