Canvas64 for streamers
A Canvas64 cell puts your face, your name and a link to your channel on a public wall that every visitor sees. You claim a free cell once for $30 in USDC on Base. From then on, any viewer can buy you out at the next step, and when one does, you are paid: $49 for a cell you claimed for $30, then a royalty of 5% on every later sale of that cell, forever.
Why it works on stream
- Your viewers can take your spot, and you get paid for it. A buyout is the only way to move a cell, and it pays the owner in the same transaction. Chat sees the price of your next step and decides whether to take it.
- The price climbs with every buyout, 1.65× a step: $30, $50, $82, $135, $222. The later a viewer buys, the more the one they buy out is paid.
- You can buy your cell back at the next step, like anyone else, and stay on the wall.
- Every earlier owner keeps a royalty, so a cell that changes hands on your stream keeps paying everyone who held it.
The overlay
Every cell has a ready overlay for OBS Studio, Streamlabs Desktop or any app with a browser source: https://canvas64.com/overlay/D4, with your cell's address in place of D4. It shows your name, your photo and "Buy me out for" the price of your next step, with a code viewers scan to open your cell. It reads the wall once a minute, so a buyout reaches your stream on its own. Nothing on it can sign or pay. Setup takes three steps: your cell on stream.
A segment you can run: buy out the host
- Claim a cell and put your photo and channel on it.
- Add the overlay, and tell chat what the next step costs and what you get when someone takes it.
- When a viewer buys you out, their face and channel take your cell on stream, and the payout lands in your wallet. Buy it back at the next step if you want the spot.
Every number on screen comes from the contract's rules, so what chat reads is what the cell costs.
Your cell links to your channel
A cell links to Twitch, YouTube, Kick, TikTok, Instagram, X or Linktree, rebuilt from your handle so it always opens your real page. Change your photo, name and links at any time, free, after you sign in with the same wallet.
Start
Get USDC on Base in a wallet such as Coinbase Wallet, MetaMask or Rainbow (how to pay), open the wall, pick a free cell and claim it. Read Before you buy first: a purchase is final, and what a cell earns comes from later buyers.
