Streaming content via blockchain technology

A method that includes a processor and a local storage device accessible by the processor for streaming content into a plurality of blobbers running on a blockchain storage platform comprising:

• receiving streaming content C (C1, C2, Ci, Ci+1, . . . );
• storing the received streamed content C (C1, C2, Ci, Ci+1, . . . ) into a plurality of buffers;
• separating the buffered content into fragments F (F1, F2, . . . , Fn) wherein the each Fi has a memory allocation different from other fragments Fj where j is not i while continuing to receive the streaming content until a blocking event occurs;
• splitting each fragment into a number of chunks determined by a fragment size divided by a chunk size;
• splitting each chunk into a fixed number of DABs where the number of DABs is the chunk size divided by the DAB size;
• and
• constructing a fixed Merkle tree suitable for sending to a plurality of blobbers for recording the DABs referenced by the leaf nodes of the fixed Merkle tree.
