A decentralized content-native blockchain for streaming and media distribution, featuring on-chain rights and payments with ELV and just-in-time transcoding, storage, and CDN-less delivery.
Eluvio Content Fabric is a content-native, mainnet blockchain and decentralized storage/delivery network (ELV as the native currency) built to publish, stream, and monetize premium video and digital media without CDNs or file copies. Primary use cases include live and VOD streaming with just-in-time packaging/transcoding, on-chain access control and rights/royalty contracts, pay-per-view and subscriptions, archival/origin services, token-gated experiences/NFTs, and secure screeners/personalized watermarking.
Unlike general-purpose chains, Eluvio uses per-object Merkle-DAG histories with built-in authorization, just-in-time playout, zero-copy storage, and forensic watermarking—combining blockchain, storage, and content delivery in one fabric. It delivers predictable, low-cost media operations in ELV without gas auctions and eliminates multi-copy workflows and external CDNs while enforcing on-chain policy at the edge. Key metrics: avg gas cost—non-applicable (fixed content fees in ELV, no gas bidding); block speed/TPS—not directly comparable (no single global chain); activity—measured by concurrent streams/bytes delivered rather than raw on-chain tx count.
Eluvio Content Fabric uses ELV as the gas token for transaction fees. You can obtain ELV by bridging from other chains or purchasing using thirdweb Bridge.
