THETA has its own digital asset, which has a total supply of 1 billion, and a circulating supply of over 870 million. It is being traded in a variety of exchanges, with Binance leading the charge in terms of transaction volume. The platform was created by Mitch Liu and Jieto Long, along with a team which consists of experienced people from the video streaming field. THETA also has industry-prominent advisors from the biggest video streaming websites such as Youtube’s Co-founder CTO Steve Chen, and Twitch’s Co-founder Justin Kan.
The THETA team took the responsibility to solve the challenges present in video streaming through the development and integration of a video streaming-oriented blockchain. THETA’s blockchain has been well-received by many related industries and even received investments from some of the big players in innovative technology funding such as Samsung, Sony Innovation Fund, and Bertelsmann Digital Media Investments. Additionally, gaming development giant Tencent Games partnered with SLIVER.tv to bring THETA rewards to Ring of Elysium players. SLIVER.tv is actually the first DApp built on the THETA Network. Through this, the video streaming blockchain was able to reach millions of e-sports enthusiasts.
