THETA.tv, the esports video streaming platform that is powered by Theta blockchain, will soon be featured as one of the limited number of content providers available in the Samsung Daily app, alongside YouTube, Netflix, and other top streaming services.
THETA.tv platform, formerly known as Sliver.tv, rewards its users with TFuel tokens as they watch live streamers using THETA.tv Android App. Users can also earn TFUEL token rewards for sharing their excess bandwidth while watching premium video streams.
What is Theta Network?
THETA (THETA) is an open source protocol that powers a decentralized streaming network. It will allow for decentralized apps (DApps) to be built on top of the platform to enable use cases that span esports, entertainment, and peer-to-peer streaming.
SLIVER.tv’s DApp was the first application built on the Theta network leveraging its existing user base of millions of esports viewers. In Nov 2018, Tencent Games announced a collaboration with SLIVER.tv to bring Theta rewards to Ring of Elysium players. THETA and TFUEL tokens are the proprietary cryptocurrency tokens used by the network.
Theta Mainnet 2.0 is planning to be launched on Wednesday, May 27th. The new mainnet will provide significant new features and performance enhancements.
