What is Streamr?
Streamr provides the real-time data infrastructure of the decentralised web (Web3). Their technology is a core service layer implementing a vendor-neutral, real-time publish/subscribe protocol for data transmission. The data travels via a global peer-to-peer network, scalable, robust, and permissionless. Streamr works in tandem with companion blockchains like Ethereum, Gnosis, and Polygon, which are used for identity, security, and payments.
