What is Livepeer?
Origins and workloads
Doug Petkanics and Eric Tang founded Livepeer in 2017. The project began with open video infrastructure and expanded into GPU workloads for video AI. Independent operators run software that performs transcoding and inference. Applications access compute through network interfaces. Workloads include video generation, analysis and live streaming.
Network roles
GPU operators are called orchestrators. They stake LPT to participate in work allocation. Delegators place LPT behind operators they select. The protocol uses that stake to coordinate routing and incentives. Applications pay operators for completed work. Fees can be earned in ETH or stablecoins and shared with delegators.
Token economics
LPT is an ERC-20 asset originating on Ethereum. The network mints additional LPT as participation rewards. Supply therefore grows through inflation rather than a fixed mining cap. Stakers receive rewards in proportion to participation and the operator's settings. LPT also supports decisions concerning the protocol and its treasury. Holding tokens alone does not supply GPU capacity.
