Why I’m Bullish on WenLive
Back in 2021–2022, there was a platform called (which later became Theta Network) pioneered a stream-to-earn model. It integrated with Twitch, paid viewers to watch streams, and boosted streamer visibility.
At its peak, Theta hit over $10B market cap and held that for over a year — it’s still sitting at ~$600M even after the product largely shut down.
Here’s why it worked:
>Web2 streamers paid to be featured on the site
>>Viewers were incentivized with tokens to watch streams
>>>The streamers’ CCV (concurrent viewers) inreased on Twitch
Everyone wins: more exposure, more engagement, and real rewards
Why this matters for WenLive:
WenLive is in the perfect position to revive and modernize this model. The Web3-native viewership rewards combined with the hunger from Web2 streamers for visibility means there’s real demand.
If WenLive creates:
>A featured streamer marketplace (pay to boost visibility)
>Real token rewards for viewers
>An easy bridge for Twitch/YT streamers to plug in and grow their CCV
You’ll get adoption fast. Web2 streamers are already used to paying for view bots, ads, and promotions. WenLive could give them better, real humans — and pay the viewers too.
This was a proven model once. It's just waiting to be revived with better tech and stronger incentives.
