Unlike the centralized delivery of content from the streamer to the viewer, used on ongoing platforms, Play2Live developers group created their own. It is a geographically distributed network infrastructure that allows users to optimize the delivery of streamed videos to end users and to use our own network bandwidth and 3rd party CDNs to maximize coverage. The CDN will route you to nearest CDN node for better connection and video & other content uploads in individual access points.

The project team also created a neural network that is able to monitor over 200 streams at the same time without requiring vast amounts of computer power. The neural network monitors the stream and determines with the highest precision if the task was accomplished. In fact, the task itself is a smart contract with a deposit in LUC tokens.
