Building a decentralised pub/sub
summary
Streamr builds a peer-to-peer pub/sub that replaces a central data center with a user-run topology using webrtc data channels for transport, an on-chain registry for access control, and bounty smart contracts plus a native token to pay and slash broker nodes. A live demo shows site visitors forming peers and serving a stream; the network claims scaling to tens of thousands of subscribers with latency under a third of a second. Launched decentralization in February, 1.0 (bounty layer) ships next.
