BitView Checkpoint
Watch streams. Earn tokens. Win all three sides.
BitView is the watch-to-earn layer for live streaming. Twitch streamers create a Solana-backed distribution event in two clicks; viewers who actually show up earn tokens claimable to a self-custody wallet; BitView captures small fees on swaps, launches, and brand sponsorships and runs the infrastructure that makes the loop liquid.
This site is the canonical documentation: technical reference, operational guides, business strategy, tokenomics, and roadmap.

The 30-second pitch
- Streamers reward viewers who stick around — measurable, on-chain.
- Viewers earn tokens they can actually spend (via the integrated swap router) instead of points trapped on one platform.
- BitView earns recurring revenue from value-flow (swap fees, launchpad fees, sponsorships, subscriptions) — never by extracting from one side.
- BTV native token aligns viewer, streamer, and platform incentives without being an investment vehicle: it's a utility stake against sybil farming and a fee-discount mechanism.
- Built on the audited Jito/Jupiter merkle distributor on Solana mainnet. No custodial sidechain, no custom AMM, no inflationary subsidies.
What's running today
The MVP is implemented in code:
- A Rust backend (bitview-bot) joins Twitch IRC, tracks presence, runs the accrual loop, persists to MongoDB, and serves a Swagger-documented REST API on port 4477.
- A Next.js frontend (bitview-app) for streamer creation and viewer dashboard, integrated with Solana wallet-adapter and Metaplex Core.
- The distributor program is deployed and serves merkle proofs through its own axum API.
What's still in flight: the snapshot/finalize automation, the swap router (Phase 2), the BTV launch (Phase 2). See Roadmap.
Going deeper
- For builders integrating with BitView: start at the API reference and on-chain program docs.
- For streamers wanting to run a distribution: the streamer guide walks through the full flow.
- For viewers: the viewer guide is three minutes end-to-end.
- For investors / partners / journalists: the business overview is the place to start, then read tokenomics and risk and compliance.
