Livepeer protocol contracts are deployed on Arbitrum One (active) and Ethereum Mainnet (legacy bridge and governance). Most use a proxy/target pattern: the proxy address is stable across governance upgrades, while the target changes when a new implementation is deployed.
Always verify an address on-chain before using it. Confirm you are on the official docs.livepeer.org site, and cross-check against the on-chain Controller (below) and a block explorer. An address with no label, unverified bytecode, or zero transactions is not a Livepeer contract.

Deployed addresses (Arbitrum One)

Resolved from the on-chain Controller (getContract(keccak256(name))) — last verified 30 July 2026. These are the stable proxy addresses. These Arbitrum One contracts are not registered in the Controller. Addresses come from Livepeer’s own deployment artifacts (livepeer/protocol, livepeer/arbitrum-lpt-bridge), cross-checked against on-chain state:

Deployed addresses (Ethereum Mainnet)

The genesis LPT token and the L1 side of the canonical bridge. Verified on-chain (token name()/symbol(), gateway l1Lpt()/l2Lpt() cross-references, and source-verified contract names) — last verified 30 July 2026:
Historical: before the 2022 Confluence migration the protocol ran on Ethereum mainnet; those contracts remain deployed but are permanently paused — if you find an old mainnet BondingManager or staking link, it is not the live protocol. All protocol activity is on Arbitrum One. Migration-era and genesis-era contracts are cataloged in the protocol repo.

Verify against the on-chain Controller

Every Arbitrum One protocol address is registered in the Controller at 0xD8E8328501E9645d16Cf49539efC04f734606ee4 (chain 42161). Query it directly — no trust in docs required:
A registered contract returns a non-zero address. 0x000…000 means the name is misspelled or not on this chain. Then cross-check the returned address on Arbiscan or Blockscout: it should carry a Livepeer: label and verified source.
