Decentralized live-streaming for the mass

Today we are thrilled to announce that the NKN Foundation Award 2024 goes to novon.tv, the new generation of decentralized live-streaming platform built on top of the largest DePIN communication platform NKN!

In addition, we would like to recognize Mutsi’s many other contributions to the NKN ecosystem, such as nStatus (NKN node health status check), noice (real-time audio/video call), mempool (NKN mainnet transaction monitor), nTipBot & nTracker bots for NKN telegram group, and Surge P2P (100% private file sharing).

Mutsi, the novon.tv developer, will receive an award of 250,000 NKN, which will support his further development of novon.tv as well as other NKN tools. And the NKN Foundation and the NKN team will help to market and promote such products and services.

Congratulations to Mutsi and novon.tv!

A conversation with Mutsi

Mutsi, developer of novon.tv, hosted the first ever live-streaming session with NKN co-founders on November 12th, 2024. And after this successful debut, we had a quick chat with Mutsi. You can find the details in the recent blog post:

NKN – the largest DePIN communication network

DePIN stands for Decentralized Physical Infrastructure Networks. It’s a new way to build and maintain infrastructure in the physical world. This “infrastructure” can be anything from WiFi hotspots in wireless networks to solar-powered home batteries in energy networks. DePINs are built out in a decentralized way, by individuals and companies all over the world, for anyone to use. In return, these contributors receive financial compensation and an ownership stake in the network they’re building and the services they’re providing (via token incentives). DePINs are made possible through widespread Internet connectivity and technological advancements in blockchain infrastructure and cryptography. (source: IoTeX)

NKN has built the largest decentralized communications network since our mainnet launch in 2019. With up to 180,000 communication servers running in 50+ countries and regions, currently the NKN network is transporting 3 billion data packets every hour. And the best part of it? 99.99% of our communication servers are run by the community. The sheer scale as well as the significant community ownership makes NKN the true embodiment of the DePIN movement.
