Decentralized live stream bets and interactions
Website | Slack | Discord | Telegram |Facebook | Twitter
The concept:
Gimli is a decentralized platform for eSport streamers and viewers. Streamers can turn viewers into engaged supporters by organizing bets, votes, asking for donations, and creating prize pools for tournaments using the ERC20 Ethereum token GIM. Interact with our betting and voting smart contracts here.
Gimli is provably fair, all functionalities are Ethereum smart contracts tailor made for streamers and stream viewers.
Gimli empowers streamers by enabling them to connect directly with their audience, increase and control novel revenue opportunities.
The team: 14 people strong, including
- Technology: Ouziel Slama, who co-developed counterparty, Joseph Fiscella who co-founded the Alexandria project
- Pro gamers: Luffy - street fighter IV world champion , Stefano - Starcraft 2 foreigner world champion
- Streamers: Thud - CEO ASUS ROG school, Skyyart, Aypierre
- Business: cool and experienced team (some Columbia, Harvard, Polytechnique), and real eSports fans
Created by industry insiders and world top professional gamers, Gimli is developing a strong public image in the streamers and gamers community.
Why is Gimli relevant:
Streamers have massive audience in the hundreds of millions globally. Yet, streamers monetization of their viewers is low.
- Ads-blockers are widespread, limiting advertising revenue.
- Subscription fees are low compared with traditional sports, with streaming platforms taking a considerable share.
- Sponsorships are few in a developing industry.
- Viewership drops dramatically after each game ends, with volatile audience going to other channels with ongoing entertainment.
Gimli fits in alongside current monetization methods. With Gimli, streamers can create entertainments and functionalities with GIM embedded commissions. From the substantial source of direct GIM revenues, to better engagement, higher number of minutes watched and increased donations, Gimli’s promise is to give control back to streamers.
Partners and adoption:
Existing streaming partners with more than one million twitter followers. Streamers set up functionalities and GIM they want to receive when their audience use Gimli on their stream. Thanks to those partnerships and active backing by renowned streamers, Gimli will be promoted to millions of viewers and prospective users worldwide, with the goal of viral and exponential adoption.
