View ChartJoystream (JOY) is a decentralized video platform protocol that brings the principles of blockchain technology to video publishing. Much like email standardized digital mail and Bitcoin redefined money, Joystream aims to do the same for video. All profiles, videos, and social interactions are stored on a dedicated high-throughput public blockchain, giving users a transparent and secure environment for content distribution and monetization. The platform is governed by a user-controlled Decentralized Autonomous Organization (DAO) that funds creators and builders while operating the storage and content delivery infrastructure. The native token, JOY, facilitates transactions and enables holders to participate in governance decisions. Joystream launched on December 9, 2022, at block number 11,836,729. Its total supply is approximately 1.13 billion JOY, with a circulating supply of roughly 1.11 billion, representing about 98% of the total supply. The project is built on the Substrate blockchain framework and has an application called Atlas that provides a familiar video platform interface on top of the Joystream blockchain.
Joystream was founded by Bedeho Mender and Mokhtar Naamani. Bedeho Mender serves as the CEO, guiding the project's vision and execution, while Mokhtar Naamani is a co-founder. The team behind Joystream comprises engineers, designers, and marketing experts dedicated to developing a video platform for the future. Their collective efforts aim to create an improved, decentralized video platform that offers a fresh approach to content creation, distribution, and consumption. The collaborative effort behind Joystream ensures a robust and independent platform for video content creators and consumers. Joystream raised a total of $13 million across three completed funding rounds, including a Token Launch and a Private round.
Joystream operates on a dedicated high-throughput public blockchain built on the Substrate framework. All user profiles, videos, and social interactions are stored on this blockchain, ensuring transparency and security. A user-controlled DAO governs the platform, funding creators and builders while managing the storage and content delivery infrastructure. Developers can build new applications on Joystream's open network effect and infrastructure, using APIs they can trust. The platform includes a flagship application called Atlas, which provides a familiar video platform interface. Through Atlas, users can upload videos to their channels, build subscriber counts, sell videos as NFTs, and even create their own creator token for their channel. Creator tokens function similarly to shares of a company, allowing token holders to earn a share of revenue generated, get early access to videos, and access other benefits controlled by the creator. This system enables creators to capitalize on their channel and popularity while offering fans a way to invest in and support their favorite creators.
Joystream distinguishes itself by providing a decentralized alternative to traditional video platforms. Unlike closed incumbents where everyone is stuck with a single experience controlled by one company, Joystream empowers developers to experiment with new features, algorithms, and policies. Creators can build their audience and business on a solid foundation, selling video NFTs to capture more value from their greatest fans and issuing dedicated revenue share creator tokens to finance creative projects. The platform's curation model enhances content discovery, ensuring users can easily find and engage with high-quality videos. Developers benefit from Joystream's open network effect and reliable APIs, enabling them to build new applications on a robust and transparent infrastructure. The user-controlled DAO allows for a more democratic and community-driven approach to platform governance, ensuring that the platform evolves according to the needs of its users rather than a centralized authority.
The native token JOY facilitates transactions on the Joystream network and enables token holders to participate in governance decisions.

Creators can issue dedicated revenue share creator tokens to finance their creative projects, with token holders earning a share of the revenue generated and receiving benefits such as early access to videos. Video NFTs allow creators to sell their content to their greatest fans, capturing more value from their work. The platform's APIs enable developers to build new applications on Joystream's open network effect and infrastructure, expanding the ecosystem and providing diverse experiences for creators and consumers.

Joystream operates on a Substrate-based blockchain, and the network's consensus mechanism involves validators who secure the network and produce blocks. Detailed public information about specific mining or validation requirements is currently limited. The JOY token is the native token of the network, used for transactions and governance. Those interested in participating in network security should consult the official Joystream documentation and handbook for the most current information on validation, staking, and node operation requirements. The platform's DAO governs the network, and token holders can participate in decisions about the platform's development and operation.
Keeping your JOY tokens safe requires following standard cryptocurrency security practices. Use reputable wallets that support Substrate-based assets and the Base network, as JOY exists on both the Joystream blockchain and as a token on Base. Always verify contract addresses before interacting with tokens, and be cautious of phishing attempts and unofficial links. Store your private keys and seed phrases securely offline, and never share them with anyone. For long-term holdings, consider using hardware wallets that support the relevant networks. Enable two-factor authentication on any exchange accounts you use, and regularly review your security settings. Stay informed about official Joystream communications through their website and verified social media channels to avoid scams and misinformation. As with any cryptocurrency investment, only invest what you can afford to lose and conduct your own research before making any decisions.
