LONDON – Bolt Global a technology company which builds Web3-enabled platforms and services for the next generation of the internet, and Binance, digital asset exchange, have partnered to offer over 90 million Binance users in over 150 countries access to Bolt+, a new live entertainment and social experience, powered by Binance Pay.

Bolt+ is a web3 live entertainment, social networking and gaming experience for users, live streamers, and content creators. Bolt+ is available on the Web, and as an iOS and Android mobile application. Bolt+ is also available as a Smart TV application through VIDAA, the fastest growing operating system on Smart TVs for over 50 manufacturers, including Hisense, Toshiba, and Loewe TV, across 14 million Smart TVs.

Bolt+ and Binance welcome creators from YouTube and Twitch to start earning from day 1.

On Bolt+, fans can directly send their favourite streamers and content creators virtual gifts and tips, paid for in crypto directly from their Binance wallet. Earnings can be cashed out anytime via Binance Pay, which is paid directly to the creator’s Binance wallet.

A wide range of revenue streams are available to all content creators on Bolt+, including tipping, advertising and sponsorship, and utility-based NFT channels.

To enable universal value creation for all users, creators and live streamers can keep up to 95% of their earnings from Bolt+.

This is in contrast to existing web2 platforms, where take rates by the platform can be as high as 55%.

A platform for all – including global entertainment brands and independent content creators

Bolt+ has also onboarded global leaders in the entertainment space, such as Monstercat, the global independent electronic music label, OneFootball, the leading football media company covering 200 leagues in 12 different languages, Euronews, the regional news network in Europe,  and France 24, the international news television network based in Paris.
