Blockchain Streaming Platform To Host Hearthstone Tournament Within Days

A company billing itself as "The world's first decentralized streaming platform for gamers and esports fans" is preparing to host a virtual Hearthstone tournament within the coming days.

Play2Live says this is the first-ever Hearthstone contest to be powered by blockchain technology, as well as the "Next generation of streaming interactivity" that its platform provides.

This is the latest tournament to be held by Play2Live.

Play2Live's MVP 3.0 launchesThe company's development team has been continuing to work on its minimum viable product - and a newly launched, updated version of its MVP is expected to pave the way for a "Fully fledged beta version" of its platform by the start of Q3 2018.Some of the latest features unveiled by Play2Live include the ability to refill LUC tokens from any ERC20-compliant crypto wallet, as well as an enhanced platform interface.

In time, Play2Live hopes to offer 15 potential sources of revenue for its ecosystem's users - treble the income streams made available by current leaders within the streaming industry.

The company says streamers themselves will have the ability to monetize their content in 11 different ways - a far cry to the four or five options they have on existing platforms.

"Preliminary agreements" with several exchangesThe founder and chief executive of Play2Live, Alexey Burdyko, has confirmed that the company has struck preliminary agreements with a number of exchanges - including CoinBene and Yobit.

He told Cointelegraph: "Starting May 21, 2018 our token will also be traded on HitBTC - one of the most reliable crypto exchanges in the world."To ensure further development of Play2Live ecosystem and Level Up Chain, users will be offered an opportunity to trade LUC token on other reliable and established cryptocurrency exchange platform.

Play2Live has big plans for the future - and by the first quarter of next year, it hopes to have welcomed more than 5 mln users to its platform.

Its initial coin offering successfully concluded back in March, with Play2Live executives revealing that its hard cap of $30 mln was reached.
