Problem
Traditional content delivery networks (CDNs) for live streaming can be expensive, particularly due to high infrastructure costs. Current streaming platforms often fail to fully capture and monetize audience engagement, with much of the value accruing to third-party platforms. Existing solutions may also lack robust security measures against DDoS attacks and data interception.
Solution
Rilla Network offers a decentralized live-streaming protocol that leverages a hybrid P2P network orchestrated by machine learning to reduce CDN costs by up to 90%. The platform optimizes network topology for cost, latency, and quality of experience, while also providing a seamless fallback to traditional CDN delivery when needed. Rilla enhances security with additional safeguards on top of existing DRM and authentication-based content protection. By enabling native interactivity and transaction capabilities, Rilla allows streamers to capture and monetize audience engagement directly, fostering a fairer distribution of value within the content economy.
Target Audience
Rilla Network targets content creators, live sports streaming platforms, and content rights holders seeking to reduce streaming costs, enhance security, and unlock new monetization opportunities through audience engagement.
