Mjolnir TV
A decentralized live streaming platform based on the Ethereum L2s, The Graph, and IPFS that enables the creators to have their Stations as NFTs and token-gate their content.
Project Description
Each creator can have multiple Stations (Channels) and these stations are NFTs that can be traded on the open marketplace. Only the station owner can publish content on the station. The content of the station is token-gated and only the holders of the station's Subscription NFT can view the content.
Viewers can buy the Subscription NFT of the station they want to watch directly from our platform via their wallets or trade it on the open marketplace. Each Station NFT can have any number of Subscription NFTs attached to it and the Station’s value would be based on these subscription NFTs and each new subscription transaction would change the previous value.
Vision for Mjolnir is to create a DAO that empowers creators and viewers alike, offering a secure and transparent way for creators to monetize their content and have a real value for their brand and name and also for viewers to support their favorite creators while being able to always have a fair price for watching the content.

How it's Made
Our project empowers content creators to be able to have a real value for their stations and fan base by relying on amount of subscription NFTs minted for a Station to define the actual value. We also use IPFS for having an decentralized storage for our stations and their metada.
All of the platform's data is processed and queried though The Graph and we're currently running our own node and indexer but have plans to go on the main network.
We've wrote our own contracts for managing the Station and Subscription NFTs and their relation. Whenever a new Subscription NFT gets minted or exchnaged on open market, the Station NFT's value would also be affected so this enables the creators to have an actual price for their Station based on their fan base's loyalty and activity.
Using IPFS and The Graph enabled us to easily upload metadata and streams onto a decentralized network without worrying about processing those data so we were able to keep our focus on desgining the smart contracts and a more rubost client.
