In just a few days, Clutch Markets' all new streaming platform, Clutch TV, has already attracted dozens of channels, including popular NFT shows like Coffee with Captain and CraigsCoinPurse, which are now going live from the platform!
But before Clutch TV was even ready for prime time, Bored Ape Yacht Club member and musician MyDeadFriendz made history by becoming the first person to ever go live there, even catching its creator by surprise!
On Monday, November 2, MyDeadFriendz went to clock in for another shift as a StonkBroker when he noticed something new on the project's website called Clutch TV.
“I clicked on it and saw it all,” he told the Gazette. “I checked SimpleFarmer tweets and nothing was tweeted about Clutch TV, but I started clicking more and it signed me up and just worked.”
With the platform seemingly up and running, MyDeadFriendz decided to go live, creating and sampling hip hop instrumentals while testing out everything Clutch TV had to offer!
“I was surprised when it all just started working and I was actually LIVE,” he said. “I’ve done a bunch of livestreams through YouTube, and even some web3 livestream brands, but Clutch TV really made things easy to setup. “
Once online, MyDeadFriendz tweeted out his stream link and quickly attracted an audience, including Clutch Markets founder 0xSimpleFarmer, who was thrilled to see his new dApp in action, even though it hadn't officially launched!
“I appreciate it my goat,” 0xSimpleFarmer wrote in the comment section. “Its actually not live yet but I love that you launched a stream anyways.”
From there, 0xSimpleFarmer used MyDeadFriendz's impromptu broadcast to test one of Clutch TV's most interesting features, tipping streamers with crypto and tokenized stocks!
During the stream, 0xSimpleFarmer and other viewers sent MyDeadFriendz $STONKBROKER, Apple stock tokens, USDG and ETH!
As the Gazette previously reported, Clutch TV isn't just some copy and paste version of Twitch or YouTube.
The platform is designed to let viewers tip their favorite streamers using tokenized stocks, while also introducing NFT based social passes that give holders access to private, token gated chats, similar to the keys from the friend.tech era.
Clutch TV also features 0xSimpleFarmer's Anvil AMM technology, allowing these NFT social passes to be paired with tokens and could create an entirely new onchain economy around streamers and their communities!
For MyDeadFriendz, streaming has always been a way to share his love of music, and Clutch TV may be just what he needs to get back into the groove!
“I usually do livestreams of me making hiphop instrumentals from scratch,” he said. “ I make alot of sample-based boombap hiphop so I show the process of me chopping samples and layering drums.”
Looking ahead, MyDeadFriendz says he hopes to keep streaming on Clutch TV whenever he can.
“I use to do alot of livestreaming but stopped a few years back,” he said. “But ClutchTV might be the thing I needed to get me back to regular livestreams.”
