🏙️ Unleashing Web3: Myco's Vision for Decentralized Media 👁️
In this groundbreaking sponsored episode of Edge of NFT, we feature Umair Masoom, Founder & CEO of myco, a global blockchain-based video streaming platform. Umair explores the transformative potential of Web3 tech, discussing how myco is decentralizing media, enhancing community engagement, and ensuring fair monetization for creators.
🔑 Key Takeaways
Myco is aiming to revolutionize the streaming industry by creating a “viewer economy” where users can earn rewards for watching content, empowering both viewers and content creators.
The platform has grown rapidly, reaching 10 million users and streaming major sports events like the Cricket World Cup. They aim to have 14 million users by the end of the World Cup.
Myco plans to move its entire video infrastructure on-chain by the end of 2025, though this presents significant technical challenges in terms of scalability and performance.
They are working on developing a regulated crowdfunding platform to allow viewers to invest in film and TV projects, starting in the UAE with plans to expand to other regions.
