Streaming infrastructure that pays its own way.
Lower delivery costs for publishers.
Earnings for node operators. No central chokepoint.
From your content to every viewer.
Without the CDN bill.
01 · PUBLISH
Connect your stream in minutes.
Publishers connect their content to the Popcorn network through a single integration. During encoding we capture scene-level meta data for contextual ads. Your stream enters the network ready for distributed delivery.
02 · ROUTE
Routed through the nearest available nodes.
The network finds the optimal delivery path in real time — routing each stream through the closest active nodes to minimise latency and maximise quality. Automatic failover if a node goes offline.
03 · SETTLE
Delivered to viewers. Revenue distributed automatically.
The viewer receives the stream. The publisher pays less than centralised CDN rates. The node operator earns from every stream they serve. All settled automatically.
The economics speak for themselves.

Distributed means no single point of failure.
Centralised CDN infrastructure fails when it's needed most — at peak viewership. Popcorn's distributed network routes around failure automatically. If a node goes offline, the stream continues through another path. Resilience is structural, not reactive.
