Project Description

Finstreet is India’s First Crypto Education Platform. This platform is an easily accessible medium for people to learn about the importance of cryptocurrencies and their different asset classes. We have a strong community of more than 3 million crypto enthusiasts on different social media platforms.

We are looking to build FinFlix, a decentralized content platform for learning about crypto and blockchain. We are working on a vision of providing the platform as the content aggregator for crypto education where we can aggregate the best explanatory videos as well as the latest trending videos on our platform on crypto and blockchain concepts.

Value

Big tech is increasingly banning content about crypto. We need a decentralized platform where anyone can come and learn about different blockchain and crypto subjects. Every now and then YouTube bans the crypto and blockchain based channels. FinFlix will provide a platform where anyone can post educational content around crypto and blockchain concepts and people can learn by watching the content free.

Deliverables

We will be delivering a decentralized learning platform with IPFS/Filecoin integration. It will provide a one-stop solution to learning different blockchain and crypto subjects. We will be using IPFS/Filecoin as our storage layer for the streaming platform. We will provide a decentralsied learning platform where anyone can come and learn about different crypto and blockchain concepts free.

Development Roadmap

Initial Phase (Two months):

  1. Decentralized video streaming
  2. Tipping / Donations for the creators to contribute to creators' economy
  3. A dashboard for the content creators to upload their videos on crypto
  4. Viewer friendly playback system integration

Advanced Phase (Three months):

Apart from the above mentioned development roadmap we will actively engage with the community along the KOLs in the space to add the required features to enhance the user experience.

Total Budget Requested

We are requesting a total of $50,000 for the development of the project.

Maintenance and Upgrade Plans

We will maintain and upgrade the platform for a minimum of 10 years.
