What is Livepeer (LPT)?

Livepeer is a decentralized video streaming network built on the Ethereum blockchain. It’s made especially for content creators who make videos. With Livepeer, they can transcode their videos (basically convert them to streamable formats) in a decentralized way — not through some big, centralized service. That means more power to the users, and less control in the hands of traditional streaming platforms.

Livepeer uses a global network of participants to handle video transcoding, which makes the whole process cheaper, more efficient, and way more accessible for creators.

It’s also a great option for developers looking to build apps for streaming platforms, video calls, or virtual events. The network gives devs a solid framework to build on.

For content creators, streaming is super low-cost — and that’s a win for viewers too, since they don’t have to pay as much to watch content. Everything in the network runs on the native token, LPT. You use LPT to pay for video transcoding and for using other services that Livepeer offers.

How does Livepeer (LPT) work?

Livepeer runs on a system where 'orchestrators' and 'delegators' help handle video transcoding — basically converting videos into different formats so they work smoothly on any device. Here's how it works:

  • Orchestrators: These are people (or their computers) who provide processing power to the network. In return, they earn LPT tokens (that’s the native token of Livepeer). The better they perform — and the more tokens are delegated to them — the more rewards they get through the staking system.
  • Delegators: These are folks who own LPT tokens but don’t do the actual transcoding. Instead, they stake their tokens with orchestrators to support the network. This boosts the orchestrator’s reliability and voting power. Delegators earn a cut of the orchestrator’s rewards, paid out in LPT too.
  • Smart contracts: Everything, like staking tokens or using the services, is run through smart contracts on Ethereum — making it all transparent and trustworthy.

Who founded Livepeer (LPT)?

Livepeer was founded in 2017 by Doug Petkanics and Eric Tang. They’ve got startup experience and set out to build a cheaper, decentralized alternative to traditional streaming services like Netflix or HBO.

What can you do with the LPT token?

The LPT token is Livepeer’s native and governance token, and it’s super important in the ecosystem. Here’s what you can do with it:

  • Staking: If you hold LPT, you can delegate your tokens to orchestrators. That’s staking — you’re helping power the network without running any hardware yourself. Orchestrators use those staked tokens to prove they’re reliable, and they get rewarded for transcoding. You (as a delegator) get a share of those rewards in LPT.
  • Transcoding: Orchestrators offer up their computer’s processing power to transcode video files. They get paid in LPT, based on how well they do and how much is staked with them.
  • Voting (governance): If you hold LPT, you get to vote on important network decisions — like protocol upgrades, policy changes, and other stuff that shapes the future of the project.
