DLive Issues Its Own IDA On Lino Blockchain

7 Mins Read

We are pleased to inform the community that DLive will issue its own In-App Digital Asset (IDA) on the Lino Blockchain to prepare for the migration to the Lino Blockchain Main Net.

On DLive, we want to create a long term sustainable live-streaming platform that removes platform cuts, empowers creators, rewards communities, and is guided by the community. DLive has been focused on bringing a real world use case utilizing blockchain technology to mainstream via live-streaming since inception, we have grown to five million monthly active users in a short span of one year.

The In-App Digital Asset (IDA) is a token created by the DApp developers on the blockchain. By creating our own IDA, DLive will be able to protect content creators from market price fluctuations. It is important for us to ensure the stability of content creator earnings while introducing and utilizing the benefits of the decentralized Lino blockchain.

The Lino Blockchain Main Net is estimated to launch by the end of the fourth quarter in 2019. It is expected that all important changes to the Lino blockchain will be decided by the community through the blockchain’s on-chain governance mechanism. This will include voting for blockchain validators (individuals or groups that help secure the Lino blockchain) and upgrades/changes to the blockchain.

In order to maintain this vision and be prepared for the migration, certain changes will be made to the DLive platform to make this transition as smooth as possible for all users.
