About
The problem it solves Live streamers often struggle to manage personalized audience interactions like superchats. Traditional systems are: Centralized: Platforms like YouTube or Twitch take high cuts from creators’ earnings. Limited Customization: Few options for personalized overlays or seamless integration. Lack of Ownership: Creators have no control over transaction visibility or data. How It Helps Decentralized Payments: Leverages Web3 to ensure direct payments from viewers to streamers, eliminating middlemen. Full Customization: Users can select and personalize overlay templates, adding a creative flair to their streams.
How it's made
Challenges we ran into Real-Time Blockchain Event Listening: Integrating real-time superchat updates from blockchain transactions was tricky. Polling was too slow and resource-intensive. Solution: Implemented WebSocket-based listeners with ethers.js to monitor smart contract events, ensuring instant updates to the OBS overlay. OBS Overlay Rendering Issues: Browser sources in OBS sometimes didn’t render animations or updates smoothly. Solution: Optimized the overlay templates using lightweight HTML, CSS animations, and minimal JavaScript. Used caching techniques to avoid reloading assets unnecessarily.
