dilbo139 commented 1 year ago

Give a 3 sentence description for your proposal. Dwitch aims to bring back video content ownership and power back to creators. Think Web3 Twitch/Youtube.

Describe the problem you are solving. Dwitch empowers fans to get a closer connection to their favorite creators and provides creators with complete ownership of the communication channel to their most engaged community members.

Describe the solution you are proposing and how it will have a positive impact on the Livepeer developer ecosystem. We are building a decentralized live streaming and video content platform to bring back power back to creators and their community.

Dwitch empowers fans to get a closer connection to their favorite creators and provides creators with complete ownership of the communication channel to their most engaged community members. Dwitch can be thought of as a decentralized Twitch/Cameo where influencers, community leaders and creators can spin up a decentralized live stream and allow anyone to join in for a small fee. When watchers join, Dwitch automatically facilitates the stream of micro payments from the viewer to the creator in exchange for the ability to get access to the stream, and engage with the streamer by asking text questions.

Link: https://ethglobal.com/showcase/dwitch-ux1hk Describe why you are the right team with the capability to build this. Our team is comprised of 2 Full Stack Engineers, one more focussed on Frontend and UX and the other more focussed on smart contracts and protocol design. Our overlapping skills complement each other which allows us to build things quickly and seamlessly.

Describe the scope of the project including a 3 month timeline and milestones. We must create UI/UX designs for the fully-featured platform.

We must complete existing functionality with full test coverage and production grade code quality.

We must integrate live chat and other engagement features.

We must add video upload functionality for content creators.

We must implement and test Lens protocol integrations.

Please estimate hours spent on project based on the above and how much funding you will need. We plan to spend a minimum of 70 hours/week on this project. We anticipate funding requirements of 50K USD.

Hi @dilbo139, thanks for putting this proposal together. This sounds like an interesting approach. We'd like to offer a grant for this for $10k in LPT cutting back the scope of some of the grant to help get this to an initial PoC. This would be split into 4 milestones.

  1. Complete the UI/UX designs for the platform ($2k in LPT)
  2. Complete video uploads and video-on-demand integration ($2k in LPT)
  3. Livepeer Livestreaming integration ($2k in LPT)
  4. Livepeer Token Gating integration and add a powered by Livepeer watermark to Dwitch videos ($2k in LPT)
  5. Success Metric Bonus - 20k video views on the platform ($2k in LPT)

Would you be able to complete this by end of December or January?
