Recent rewards from the Joystream DAO
It’s time for the community to become channels' main stakeholder
Viewers can be turned into evangelists by holding a share in their favorite channels upon purchasing a channel token.
Creator mint sell on their own terms
Token supply can follow the demand effortlessly with the Automated Market Maker, while the Custom Sale gives a creator complete control over the terms the token is traded on.
A stable stream of tokens every year
Patronage gives creators the power to earn a regular annual token supply as compensation for their effort in curating the community and managing token economics.
Yes to allowlists & vesting schedules. No to monkey business.
Allowlists put creators in charge of controlling the access to their token, and with vesting schedules (for both creators and buyers) everyone can get aligned and focused on the future.
Support favourites and earn together.
Scout for future starts.
Everyone can support creators to receive a portion of their revenue. Creators can reward their audience by sharing some of their channel's earnings.

Roadmap

1. Progressive Web App for Atlas/Gleev
Development of a progressive web app for Atlas/Gleev that will allow for the app to be installed on user's smartphones without having to go through app stores.
2. Creator Token Improvements
Various improvements to creator token functionality such as the addition of public sales, whitelisting and transfer of creator tokens.
3. Fiat on-ramp
Starting with Joystream is easy with an initial token balance for transaction fees. However, features like purchasing NFTs or CRT require more JOY tokens. To make this seamless, we're introducing an in-app fiat on-ramp for Atlas app users. This allows users to buy JOY directly and use it within the ecosystem.
4. Content Infrastructure: Authentication & Authorization
Proper monetization, both for the DAO and individual creators, depends on being able to practically restrict access to content, or make access conditional. The goal of this milestone is to introduce basic authentication and authorization at the content layer, enforced by content delivery nodes. This will allow features such as gating videos to only NFT holders for example.
5. Short Videos Support on Atlas/Gleev
Support for short duration videos on Atlas/Gleev, allowing users to create and share quick, bite-sized content within the app.
1. Premium Content gating features (pay to view)
This feature will allow for content creators to restrict access for content to users unless they pay a fee, enabling another revenue stream for premium content.
2. Social Collaboration Features
The power of Web3 is in the community ownership and leveraging the network effects. Gleev will offer new ways to organise community based on content verticals and individual channels, adding more utility and new use cases for Creator Tokens and Joy tokens. Channel token holders will be offered exclusive ways to connect with creators, and social feed will empower viewers to co-curate the platform's trending content, gain exposure on the platform and earn JOY tokens for active participation.
3. Transcoding & Adaptive Streaming
Introducing server-side transcoding in Orion will unlock multiple future benefits that come from server-side post-processing. It will also unlock the ability to do adaptive streaming, where a user with a dynamic connection can more quickly see the asset resolve and play.
1. Content Recommendations v2
The goal of this milestone is to ship the first recommendation capability in Orion, to make Joystream apps much more engaging with personalized content recommendations.
2. AI-Powered Video Translation Agent
An AI-driven solution for automatic video translations, providing real-time subtitle generation and language support to make content accessible to a global audience, enhancing engagement across Joystream.
1. Video Communities
The goal of this milestone is to create a fully hosted and simple point-and-click experience to allow third parties to invite their communities to use Joystream.
2. Bounties v2
Development & deployment of an on-chain bounty management module that will enable bounties to be posted and crowdfunded by users including oracle selection and reward splitting.
3. Native Mobile App Development
Development of a native mobile app for major smartphone platforms.
4. Staking Nomination Pools
Implementation of on-chain nomination pools which will allow for users to far more easily and quickly stake the JOY token for pooled rewards from other users.
