Decentralised media streaming for creators — publish, pay-per-view, and split revenue on-chain.
Jeskei is a decentralised media platform that helps creators publish video, define immutable revenue splits between contributors, and let viewers pay to watch or tip — with settlement and withdrawals handled on-chain.
V1 focus (what we are building now):
- Publish video with contributor splits locked at listing time
- Pay-per-view and tips in ETH or USDC
- Automatic on-chain settlement and pull-based withdrawals
- A minimal web app: Discover · Your videos · Upload & list · Earnings
Explicitly out of scope for V1: tokens (JAK), NFT payment primitives, DAO governance, subscriptions, ads, cinema workflows, and custodial flows.

- Off-chain (Phase 1): upload, transcode, HLS segments, metadata JSON served by the API (CDN-ready URLs in metadata)
We are actively building V1 in the Jeskei monorepo. For bugs and features, open issues there. Larger design questions should align with the V1 spec in docs/spec/ and the variance register.
