Tipping and Donations

Background

DLive Protocol allows streamers to receive tips from their viewers. The streamer's Tron address, once channel setup is complete, will be part of the stream metadata. On the viewer side, there is a Donate button which will prompt the transaction to be completed with the TronLink Google Chrome extension.

Streamer Tipping Setup

When starting a new stream, the option to receive tips will be shown.
Additionally clicking on the "Add Wallet Address" button will prompt for your Tron address.

Next, click "Continue" to allow viewers to send tips while you stream.

Enter your Tron Wallet Address and click "Continue"

Your stream is now enabled for tipping! Verify the address at the bottom of the Stream window.

Viewer Tipping

Dlive Protocol integrates with the TronLink Google Extension wallet to allow a viewer to send tips to a streamer. Verify your TronLink Extension is enabled.
