Livepeer
Livepeer (LPT) is a toolkit for developers to build video apps like YouTube, Twitch, TikTok, or Zoom—but on Web3. It handles the heavy lifting of video, like turning one stream into different formats for devices. By using a decentralized network, Livepeer cuts costs and makes video services more open and resistant to censorship.

Technology & Use Case
Livepeer replaces expensive, centralized video infrastructure by using a global, peer-to-peer network. People “orchestrator nodes” contribute GPU power to handle video transcoding and AI processing, earning rewards. Developers tap into this infrastructure to build video streaming or creative tools without needing their own servers.
Origins & Team
Livepeer was founded in 2017 by Doug Petkanics (CEO) and Eric Tang (CTO), two experienced software engineers. Their goal was to create a decentralized alternative to costly, centralized video services. The LPT token was launched in December 2018 to distribute control to the community.
Ecosystem & Partnerships
LPT holders can either run nodes—processing video jobs—or stake (delegate) to operators to earn rewards and help secure the network. Over time, Livepeer has added advanced features like AI video tools and micropayments, making it a go-to infrastructure for creators and apps in Web3.Glossary
