Decentralized Live Streaming Protocol LiveMesh Surpasses 300 Million Users: Creators Bypass Platforms to Reach Audiences Directly

LiveMesh protocol enables creators to transmit live streams directly to viewers through P2P networks without relying on centralized platforms, with viewer nodes cooperatively providing bandwidth.

Decentralized live streaming protocol LiveMesh announced in its February 25 monthly data that active users have surpassed 300 million. LiveMesh uses a BitTorrent-like P2P architecture where viewers simultaneously serve as relay nodes, providing bandwidth for other viewers while watching, eliminating dependence on centralized CDNs.

When creators stream via LiveMesh, 95% of revenue goes to them (compared to YouTube's 55% and Twitch's 50%). However, content moderation has become the protocol's biggest challenge — without centralized platforms, there's no unified moderation mechanism. The LiveMesh community is developing an AI-based distributed moderation system.
