Livepeer

Livepeer is a decentralized video infrastructure that lets developers stream live or on-demand video and run AI-powered processing at lower cost than centralized platforms

## Overview Livepeer is a decentralized video infrastructure protocol built on Ethereum that enables developers to stream live and on-demand video content while performing AI-powered processing tasks at scale. Rather than relying on centralized video platforms like AWS MediaLive, Mux, or Wowza, Livepeer uses a network of distributed nodes called orchestrators and transcoders to handle video encoding, storage, and compute workloads. The protocol operates as a public utility where node operators stake cryptocurrency to validate work and earn fees, while developers pay for transcoding and process
