Rad TV Launches its Global Video Streaming Platform and NFT-Led Reality TV Series 'The Real Metaverse' on Base
Rad TV launched global video streaming on Base and debuts “The Real Metaverse” reality TV spoof.
Rad TV, the next-gen streaming service backed by industry giants like Sony and Disney, today launched the first global video streaming platform on Coinbase’s Base blockchain. This launch fundamentally rewires the economic foundation of Hollywood and video creator platforms, replacing antiquated, centralized and largely unauditable systems with a transparent, instantaneous, and creator-favorable model. For the first time, creators and studios can publish video content onchain and distribute globally to all major Smart TVs and mobile devices, with revenues shared instantly and transparently among all collaborators, all viewable on the blockchain ledger immediately.
For decades, the creator economy has been governed by black-box accounting, delayed payments, overly complex licensing, and questions about who owns the content, leaving creators, studios, and fans in the dark. Rad TV's new infrastructure eradicates these issues with:
Automated Multi-Party Payouts: Smart contracts distribute revenue to as many as 100 collaborators per project upon purchase.
On-Chain Transparency: All transactions are recorded on the blockchain, creating a verifiable and auditable ledger for earnings and analytics.
Direct Revenue Model: Payments aren't held by the platform before payout, which results in a larger portion of revenue being paid to creators instantly.
IP Control: Creators maintain ownership of their intellectual property, and can create unlimited editions or limited collector editions for fans.
Distribution: This technology handles distribution to smart TVs, mobile devices, web, PlayStation, PSVR, and Meta Quest. NFTs have traditionally been limited to web and mobile only distribution.
Showcasing the New Paradigm: ‘The Real Metaverse’
To amplify the launch, Rad TV is debuting The Real Metaverse, a first-of-its-kind animated series. In a playful spoof of reality TV, the show stars characters from five iconic NFT collections: Bored Apes, Doodles, World of Women, Cool Cats, and Robotos, who get pulled into the real world and are forced to live together. The series demonstrates the power of on-chain IP, taking characters born from blockchain communities and developing them into a full-scale narrative available across every major streaming device. The Real Metaverse is live exclusively on Rad TV, with transactions and ownership powered by Base. Subscribe or buy it onchain on Rad TV today.
Additionally, the company has a $6.99/mo subscription, which can also be unlocked by buying a one-time NFT purchase to access premium streaming forever. Stream Pass, the first-of-its-kind limited edition ~$69 subscription NFT, can even be resold if no longer used. The company has also been trusted countless times by Fortune 500 companies like Disney, Sony, NBCUniversal, Google, Paramount, Fox, Hearst, Verizon, AT&T, Discovery, CNN, Warner, ABC, and more to stream on Rad TV, or build high profile, innovative custom content experiences in AI Video, Web3 / blockchain, VR and AR, and more.
While the rest of the streaming industry is busy extracting value and constantly reorganizing to save legacy businesses, Rad TV is innovating the future of content itself, giving power back to creators, studios, and fans. With Bitcoin at all-time highs and Coinbase's Base moving the global economy onchain, Rad TV on Base is the future for the $3 trillion dollar media and telecommunications industries.
