Media Freedom
Independent Journalists
Censorship-resistant continuity
Publish under your own Nostr identity and keep channel continuity even when ingest providers, relay sets, or edge stacks are swapped.
Use Cases
Who this build is for
dStream is built for operators and creators who need transport flexibility, portable identity, and direct payout control.
Creator Economy
Performers and Creators
Direct payout ownership
Run verified Monero tip/stake flows and expose additional payout rails with wallet integration preferences per asset.
Live Ops
Live Community Hosts
Portable stream routing
Operate streams as canonical `(pubkey, streamId)` routes with WHEP-first playback and deterministic HLS fallback.
Incentives
Incentive-Driven Networks
Assist economics
Use host policy modes, rebroadcast queue thresholds, and stake-aware assist roles to align bandwidth contribution incentives.
Self Hosting
Self-Host Operators
Production-operable stack
Deploy with Docker, TURN, relay, wallet-rpc, backup/restore, and gate checks while preserving protocol-level portability.
Communities
Curated Communities
Governance + moderation
Apply relay-backed moderation, role assignment, aliases, and inbox/profile workflows for long-lived decentralized communities.
Implementation Profiles
| Profile | Runtime Pattern | Operational Outcome |
|---|---|---|
| Creator Solo Stack | Single origin + relay + TURN | Fast setup, direct monetization, portable identity. |
| Community Cluster | Shared relay set + multiple broadcasters | Moderation delegation and long-lived guild/community continuity. |
| Self-Hosted Operator | Production compose + gate checks + backups | Controlled runtime, predictable upgrades, and auditable deploy path. |
Next steps
Read runtime docs, configure wallet integrations, then launch a broadcast with your payout rails configured.
