Discover live streams on decentralized socials — unified live discovery

Many creators and small brands on decentralized social networks struggle to be discovered when they go live because live-stream metadata and audience signals are fragmented across protocols and apps, making serendipitous discovery and audience growth difficult. This is a tangible pain for an addressable base of roughly 500 million creators and interested small brands who would pay for discovery plus analytics to grow viewership and monetization. You could build a protocol-agnostic unified live discovery index and consumer-facing discovery app, plus a B2B subscription offering that normalizes stream metadata, provides real-time search and trending feeds, and delivers actionable analytics tied to monetization outcomes. The market opportunity is meaningful—estimated at $18.0B using 500M creators at $36/year—and the market score (90/100) and revenue potential (84/100) reflect momentum from creators shifting to live-first formats and early decentralized-social communities hungry for discovery tools. To stand out versus medium-competition incumbents, prioritize low-latency cross-protocol ingestion, privacy-preserving identity mapping, deeply integrated monetization hooks, and UX tailored to discovery rather than content hosting. Strengths include clear pricing economics and network effects from aggregated viewership; key challenges are the technical complexity of robust cross-protocol indexing, privacy and legal considerations around decentralized identity, and the go-to-market task of getting creators to adopt another discovery layer.
