ContentStream is a broadcast platform and marketplace allowing content creators to sell streams as bundles and NFT's.
NFTs are exploding in popularity but a lot of the current use cases revolve around speculative artwork. Owners of NFTs often purchase them with the hope that the price will increase. Instead of being rooted in speculation, we hope to create NFT that people can connect to as well as have a piece of history from a streamer's career.
With the rise in popularity of these sorts of marketplaces, video content is starting to discover a market as well.

ContentStream is a marketplace and a broadcasting platform.
Existing streamers often have large followings and may post their content to youtube or other sites after streaming of networks like Twitch (or LivePeer) - but that could be the end of it. Given these followings, we want to provide an opportunity to further connect with fans by providing memorabilia, and providing an additional revenue opportunity for the content creator. ContentStream allows any streamer to turn their streamed content into a sellable NFT and IPFS collection.
These collections can also be later resold and traded by new owners.
Many NFT marketplaces exist, but:
ContentStream takes a small royalty fee off of transactions.
Web3/metamask integration: Authenticate the current user for submitting and receiving payments.
Livepeer: Session and stream recording generation.
IPFS/Textile: Preservation of the stream in Bucket. Used as a distribution mechanism for purchased assets.
UDT: Paywalls for asset purchasing. Representation of the stream as a purchase
The graph: Reporting and health of ecosystem. Volume indicators for using LivePeer. Indexing of contentstream transactions in the future.
