Relay to Genesis

A complete streaming platform with GCP Livestream infrastructure, Polygon-based crypto payments, real-time spark economy, and multi-tier creator monetization. Serves live video 24/7 with sub-second latency.

GCP Livestream Pipeline

RTMP ingest with tier-based transcoding (720p30 to 1080p60), HLS CDN delivery. Auto-VOD creation copies segments before channel stop to prevent data loss.

Dynamic Spark Economy

Viewer-scaled burn rates: 1 spark/min (0-25 viewers) up to 50 sparks/min (500+). Governor cron enforces every 60s with Redis distributed locks.

Triple Auth System

MetaMask wallet signatures (EIP-191), Decentraland auth chain protocol for in-world access, Firebase OAuth with custom token generation.

Polygon Payments

On-chain POL verification with 2-min confirmation windows. CoinGecko price feeds for USD conversion. Genesis tier: 1 ETH for lifetime access.
