Dragverse - Livepeer Streaming iOS Application

[wcordelo]

Give a 3 sentence description about this proposal.

Dragverse will be a dApp where you as an NFT drag (queen, king, monster, etc.) can live broadcast using Livepeer and earn tips from your followers. This first version is just the start; the goal is to keep building features like a crypto game to earn tokens, participate in events, metaverse concerts, dress, pad, paint your drag avatar, and have a place where you can share or mint NFTs, buy or earn new wigs or make-up, share creations, participate in competitions, give or get tips, and more. Our team is full of talent in project management, design, and development experience. All are passionate about drag art and the inclusion, elevation, and protection of the LGBTQAI+ community.
