DLive, a blockchain-based live video streaming service based in the United States, announced its immediate and permanent shutdown on April 7, 2026. After operating for 8 years, the platform struggled to expand its user base due to fierce competition from established platforms such as Twitch, YouTube, and Kick. Reports indicate that user dissatisfaction and negative feedback contributed to a decline in its already limited user base. Additionally, DLive faced backlash after associating with controversial extremist creators, which further tarnished its reputation. Following the announcement, DLive urged creators to withdraw their remaining funds, cancel subscriptions, and download their uploaded content before the shutdown. In a public statement, DLive expressed gratitude to its supporters and promised to keep creators informed about the transition process. The platform's mascot shared a farewell message, reflecting on the end of an era.
