Hey @Joysticklabs team! Based on our conversation a couple weeks ago, I wanted to define the milestones here for transparency.

Milestone 1 Goal: Build proof-of-concept for livestreaming web3 game in browser Deliverable: Demo website running a web3 game that can be livestreamed

Milestone 2 Goal: Scaling in-browser livestreaming Deliverable: 10 concurrent livestreams for web3 game on demo website

Success Metric: 100+ concurrent livestreamers for web3 game

Does this look right? Let me know if I missed some details or got something wrong!
