Rad TV Launches its Global Video Streaming Platform and NFT-Led Reality TV Series 'The Real Metaverse' on Base

Rad TV, the streaming service backed Sony and Disney, launches re-imagined video streaming and an NFT-based reality spoof series on Coinbase’s Base network.

LOS ANGELES, CA, UNITED STATES, July 15, 2025 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Rad TV, a next-gen streaming service backed by names like Sony and Disney, today launched its global video streaming service on Coinbase’s Base blockchain. This launch rethinks the infrastructure of Hollywood and creator payouts and IP, replacing more centralized and unauditable systems with a transparent, instantaneous, and decentralized economic model. Creators and studios can publish video content onchain and distribute globally to all major Smart TVs and mobile devices, with revenues shared instantly and transparently among all collaborators, all viewable on the blockchain ledger immediately.

The platform is designed to address well-documented challenges in Hollywood and the creator economy:

- Automated Multi-Party Payouts: Smart contracts distribute revenue to as many as 100 collaborators per project upon purchase.
- On-Chain Transparency: All transactions are recorded on the blockchain, creating a verifiable and auditable ledger for earnings and analytics.
- Direct Revenue Model: Payments aren't held by the platform before payout, which results in a larger portion of revenue being paid to creators instantly.
- IP Control: Creators maintain ownership of their intellectual property, and can create unlimited editions or limited collector editions for fans.
- Distribution: This technology handles distribution to smart TVs, mobile devices, web, PlayStation, PSVR, and Meta Quest, where NFTs have traditionally been limited to web and mobile only distribution.

To demonstrate these capabilities, Rad TV has released an original animated series titled "The Real Metaverse". The show features characters from five well-known NFT collections (Bored Apes, Doodles, World of Women, Cool Cats, and Robotos). The series is currently available exclusively on the Rad TV platform, with content ownership and transactions processed on the Base network.

The individual episodes can be purchased directly onchain, or viewers can subscribe with either the monthly subscription or the Stream Pass NFT. Unlike traditional monthly subscriptions, the Stream Pass NFT is a one-time purchase that grants permanent access to premium content and can be resold by the owner on a secondary market.

Rad TV is also making its platform infrastructure available to other businesses through a suite of developer APIs. This B2B service builds on the company's history of developing custom AI, Web3, VR, and streaming initiatives and channels for major media and technology companies, including Disney, Sony, and Verizon.
