Key Takeaway

As of April 2026, the MOQ ecosystem has grown from a single Twitch experiment (WARP) to a global effort spanning 30+ organizations, with 19+ open-source implementations across 7 programming languages, 2 production CDN deployments (Cloudflare, nanocosmos), and a formal industry consortium (OpenMOQ). The protocol is at draft-17 of moq-transport and rapidly approaching standardization.
