The problem Live-Streamer solves

The LiveStreamer is a decentralized twitch that gives viewers generative NFT and allows them to support the creators using paid subscriptions that utilizes various technologies to provide a comprehensive and engaging experience for its users. Livepeer is used as the underlying infrastructure for the live streaming aspect of the platform, allowing for low-cost and scalable streaming to a global audience.

On LiveStreamer, streamers are able to create a new stream using Livepeer. They have the option to upload an NFT to accompany their stream. The stream data, along with any related URLs and information for future NFT generation, is stored in IPF. The IPFS hash is then stored on the blockchain as an ERC721 token, using Polygon blockchain. This allows for the stream and its associated data to be securely and transparently recorded and stored on the blockchain.

The viewer has the option to generate a viewer NFT through NFTPort, which is minted without the need for gas. The NFT is published to the Polygon blockchain and is generated using an NFT image uploaded from IPFS, the address of the streamer and viewer, and the viewer's avatar if they have set one through ENS. Generative NFTs are created in this manner every time they are requested, allowing for the creation of unique and collectible items for the viewer.

Some potential goals for the LiveStreamer includes:
Expanding the user base: One potential goal is to increase its user base and attract more streamers and viewers to the platform. To make the platform more appealing to potential users, marketing efforts and outreach can be undertaken, as well as adding new features and continuously improving the platform.

User engagement and retention: A key goal for any platform is to keep users engaged and coming back to the platform. LiveStreamer could aim to increase user engagement and retention through the implementation of new features which aim towards better interaction between creators and audience.
