Demand for quality information is rising
When the internet was invented, the way people obtained information changed forever. Today, people can easier than ever acquire specific information about something they need at any given time but finding a guide or tutorial for the specific issue one has, isn’t always available. OnLive has identified this issue and has set out on a mission to change that, they want people to have access to quality help regarding any issue they might encounter. OnLive believes they can solve it by creating an open platform where individuals can offer their help and expertise through video consulting.
Aim
The aim of OnLive is to utilize the revolutionary blockchain technology to create a decentralized broadcasting platform. This platform offers a variety of services including live-streaming and consulting. Participants have extensive customization available in order to create channels for their exact product and hit the right audience. OnLive gives participants the option to choose how much their services cost or whether they should be free. The OnLive platform revolves around their ERC20 token ONL, which is used as a payment solution on the platform. Blockchain technology allows for limitless scalability and a completely decentralized environment.
