How to Stream on Dlive

In this article, we will covering some of the finer points of DLive, from what the platform offers, to how to stream on your PC and mobile device.

What is Dlive?

DLive is a streaming platform founded in 2017 to compete with the larger services of the time. The site is based around a blockchain model, rewarding the userbase of both viewers and streamers for being active on the platform.

The site has gone through a few changes over time, starting with DLive’s initial launch in 2017 on the Steem blockchain. In 2018 DLive relaunched under the Lino Network blockchain. In 2019 DLive was purchased by BitTorrent and switched from Lino points to the TRON Network.

Dlive monetization is based in Blockchain currency and donation systems. Blockchain cryptocurrency is an online currency in which transactions and records are maintained by a decentralized system using cryptography, rather than a government or centralized body like the Euro, American dollar, or any other type of currency issued by an established government.

Initially DLive did not take a cut of streamers revenue, but in 2020 changed to 90.1% to streamers and 9.9% to the site for upkeep and operating costs.

The DLive website and streaming service has incredibly lax standards in regards to content. As such, there have been many Alt-Right and conspiracy streams. In 2020 the largest live streaming community among top streamers on DLive was far-right extremists, making up over 95% of top streams.
