Livepeer (LPT) is a decentralized protocol for live video streaming, launched in 2017, that aims to offer an alternative to centralized broadcasting solutions. The platform enables video producers to submit their content, which is then transcoded and distributed to viewers and streaming platforms. Built on the Ethereum blockchain, Livepeer is an open-source protocol, allowing developers to contribute to its underlying code and improve the network. The Livepeer token (LPT) serves as the protocol’s native token, used to incentivize participation and secure the network via staking.
Livepeer functions by allowing video producers to upload content, which the platform then transcodes into various formats suitable for different devices and bandwidths before distributing it to users. The network employs a modified version of the delegated proof-of-stake (DPoS) consensus mechanism, where token holders stake LPT tokens to delegate work to "orchestrators." These orchestrators handle the video transcoding process and are rewarded in tokens for their contributions. Since the system is based on staking rather than mining, it is more energy-efficient and scalable. Livepeer also leverages Ethereum’s decentralized infrastructure to enhance its functionality and interoperability with other decentralized applications (DApps).
Livepeer aims to transform the broadcasting industry by providing a decentralized, cost-effective solution for live video streaming. Its potential use cases include pay-as-you-go content consumption, scalable social video applications, uncensorable live journalism, and the integration of video features into decentralized applications (DApps). By leveraging decentralized computing power and offering crypto-economic incentives, Livepeer allows participants to contribute to and benefit from the network. The open-source nature of the platform encourages developers to build new tools and services, enhancing the broader ecosystem of decentralized video streaming.
Livepeer was founded in 2017 by Doug Petkanics and Eric Tang, both of whom have extensive backgrounds in technology and entrepreneurship. Petkanics earned a computer science degree from the University of Pennsylvania and has worked with companies like Groupon and Wildcard. Tang graduated in electrical and computer engineering from Carnegie Mellon University and has collaborated with Petkanics on projects such as Hyperpublic and Wildcard. Together, they launched Livepeer to introduce decentralization to the growing live video streaming industry, aiming to reduce costs and increase transparency for broadcasters and content creators.
