The World’s First Unlimited Video Streaming Subscription NFT: Rad’s Stream Pass

UPDATE: We adjusted the dates since we had a couple of scam projects pop up (we’re flattered!).

When Rad started working on an alpha version of an NFT project (Rad Pandas), it was originally about the art, traits, and creativity, and what we could build as a universe around that IP for video, games, and beyond. Of course we wanted utility but that wasn’t the first iteration / vision. What we realized was that clearly there were thousands of those projects launching and creating content, but what they didn’t have were any video tools beyond image-based NFT creation and distribution, and certainly no first party video streaming platform supporting NFT based content and ownership. So we looked at our existing platform for streaming and said, “Why don’t we make the NFT collection we drop enable a full platform unlock of unlimited streaming and features for life, and give all of these web3 video creator and studio projects a home?”

Enter Stream Pass.

World’s First Streaming Subscription NFT — Rad Stream Pass

The Stream Pass NFT was designed and built to have utility from DAY 1. As in, starting today. https://rad.live/streampass

By owning a Stream Pass NFT you get all this on Rad.live and more:

• Access to a global streaming platform on Rad.live, with real Music, ESports, Sports, Culture, and Comedy content from real companies, like Complex Magazine, Whistle, New Form, Comedy Dynamics, Space Channel, Bob Ross, Watch Mojo, Bloody Disgusting, Proximity, and more. Check out https://rad.live for all the details, content, and features.
• Apps on PlayStation 4/5/VR (soon PSVR2), Android TV, iPhone, iPad, Meta Quest, and apps on Apple TV, Android Mobile, Roku, and more coming soon.
• Tons of video from the top Web3 / Toon3 / Hollywood3 / Film3 Studios in the world, like Virtu Animation, Knights of Degen, DeadHeads, Glue Factory, Blue Studios, Cool Crocs, Roads to Rome, Untold Croaks, The Fuckles, and more. https://rad.live/on-demand
• Free Live TV channels. https://rad.live/live-tv
• The ability to sideload content on certain devices (soon all devices we support), which enables you to watch content you already own. You might have a bunch of files on local hard drives, vacation videos, or whatever, and we support those side-loaded. We’re adding the ability to upload these as well, so we can transcode them and store them for delivery across devices from the cloud. https://docs.rad.live/rad/welcome/rad/sideload-player
• The ability to add RSS feeds into your account, so you can add all kinds of channels from outside of the platform. NASA, TED Talks, News channels, and more are all supported, as well as unofficial channels that might include content we can’t host and deliver directly but you want to watch privately… https://docs.rad.live/rad/welcome/rad/launch-your-channel-on-rad

• We implemented https://eips.ethereum.org/EIPS/eip-2981 to ensure creators get their royalties using every possible modern method.
