In this Arbitrum Twitter Space AMA, the host eli5, is joined by Troy, foundnone, and navi, from Xeenon, to discuss what Xeenon is about, how they will differentiate live streaming from the traditional platforms, their long-term plans, and more.
Read our notes below to learn more.
Xeenon
A live-streaming platform from the Graviton ecosystem (A Web3 NFT tools and services platform).
Graviton builds NFT products and platforms for users to access the Web3 ecosystem.
Accesses the Livepeer transcoding network and references the Universe ecosystem (An NFT protocol).
Traditional live streaming has security issues, lack of transparency and fees cut issues.
Xeenon builds a transparent platform for everybody.
Started testing on Arbitrum when Livepeer moved there.
Low gas fees was a factor.
Focused on streaming and social aspects.
Graviton
Has a platform like Xeenon and tools like NFT embed, display and torrent systems.
Empowers creators and fans to collaborate.
Can build modular plugins for customized events (e.g. competitions, betting).
Web3 Goals
Introduce Web3 infrastructure into the Web2 world while still having Onchain transparency in the background.
Live Streaming
Streamers can choose to stream for free or charge a fee.
Payment occurs in real-time.
Utilizes a clearinghouse from Universe.
Traditional live streaming has security issues, lack of transparency and fees issues. (e.g. Chances of streamers’ keys getting hijacked).
Xeenon generates a different stream key each time the streamer goes live.
On-chain transparency allows users to watch where the payments are going and the breakdowns of payments.
Arbitrum high throughput allows Xeenon streaming to be smoother.
Privacy
Everything is connected to your Web3 wallet.
Streamers and viewers can choose to be anonymous or doxxed.
Mobile app available on iOS and Android.
Mobile app only available for broadcasting but connectable through Metamask.
Will expand mobile apps capabilities in the future.

Not opening the app up immediately to everyone due to legal hurdles.
Working with a project called Privy to open it up to everyone.

Xeenon plays into the long-term mission statement of Graviton, creating a collaborative community.
There are aspects of the Web3 ecosystem that can be leveraged for users to enjoy the monetary system together.
Public Launch
Beta ends in a few weeks and should launch right after Thanksgiving.
Q&A
Q: Will there be any other platforms apart from Twitch that will be integrated?
A: It will be incredibly easy to jump in (to Xeenon) if you’re already creating elsewhere as the concept behind Xeenon is to make the onboarding process easy for Web2 users.
