Watching

Watch-to-Earn

What Watch-to-Earn is, what you need to claim a reward, and how the claim works.

Some creators put a reward pool on their live stream. Watch that stream for 5 minutes and you can claim a reward in USDC, paid to your own wallet. Only streams with a pool show it.

How to claim

  1. Open a live stream that shows Watch to earn under the player. It says how long you have watched and how much is in the pool.
  2. Keep watching. A bar fills up over 5 minutes, and the line under it says how many minutes are left.
  3. When the bar is full, press Claim.
  4. The reward arrives in your wallet. View transaction shows the payment on Suiscan.

You get the whole reward the creator set for each viewer — nothing is taken from it. You don't pay a network fee to claim.

What you need

  • A sign-in. Watch time counts only once you are signed in.
  • An approved identity check (KYC). Rewards go to verified viewers only. See Identity check.
  • The stream live. Only watching it live counts, not its replay.
  • Access to the stream. On a paid stream, only viewers who can watch it can earn.

The rules

  • One claim per person per stream.
  • One stream at a time. If two streams with pools are open, your time counts on one only, and the other says "You're earning on another stream."
  • A creator can't claim on their own stream.
  • When the pool is empty, there is nothing left to claim.
  • What viewers don't claim goes back to the creator a week after the stream ends. The pool then closes.

Your watch time is counted by NETSTREAM's server, not by your browser. If Claim says your watch time isn't verified yet, keep the stream open a little longer and try again.

The reward is what the creator put in the pool and set for each viewer. NETSTREAM does not set it, and a pool can run out before everyone has claimed.
