Livepeer is a full-stack decentralised infrastructure platform and marketplace for video streaming & AI. The video streaming software is underpinned by a network of actors that perform the work needed to compute, transcode & orchestrate video & AI jobs in the Livepeer network.
Open-participation, distributed infrastructure systems like Livepeer aren’t just software systems - they’re multi-layered digital ecosystems that require careful design of economic incentives, governance structures, and technical architecture.
Livepeer was one of the earliest DePIN (Decentralized Public Infrastructure Network) projects in the blockchain space, a blockchain use case that is only more relevant today as AI reshapes industries and the way we work, collaborate and communicate.
- A demand-side agent (an app, platform, or operator) which brings video or AI jobs;
- A supply-side agent (Orchestrators and their GPU capacity, optionally backed by separate worker processes) which performs compute and other work;
- A protocol which provides the governance, payment primitives and reward system to coordinate open participation and make the market viable at scale.
From a systems engineering perspective, Livepeer has:
- A hardware layer of GPU nodes (orchestrators) that perform the compute work
- A network layer of
go-livepeer nodes that handle job routing, verification and payment;
- A software layer of services built on top of the network layer (e.g. Studio, Daydream, ComfyStream) that provide additional functionality and services to the network.
- A protocol layer of smart contracts that enforce the rules of the network.
- An economics layer of tokenomics and game theory that aligns incentives.
See more on the architectural layers in
Livepeer Protocol
The Livepeer Protocol is the underlying on-chain logic that enforces the mechanisms, incentives and rules to ensure the security, reliability, cooperation and coordination of these decentralised actors for the desired network outcomes (video streaming & AI pipelines).
The protocol additionally defines the economic mechanisms and governance rules that enforce staking, bonding, slashing, and reward rules on-chain, while off-chain nodes and services handle the actual compute jobs and job routing.
Protocol Services:
- staking
- delegation
- inflation & rewards
- orchestrator selection
- slashing
- probabilistic payments
- verification rules
This makes up the economic and coordination layer that incentivises and enforces desired behaviour.
Livepeer Network
The network is the actual running system and execution layer - the mesh of hardware and software nodes performing work:
- Orchestrators (GPU nodes)
- Transcoders / Workers
- Gateways (aka Broadcasters)
- Verification processes
- Job routing
- Real-time AI & video compute
These are the deployable, off-chain, operational actors in the network that are contributing to executing video + AI jobs. These nodes can be run and operated by anyone who wants to participate or contribute their resources to the network.
Network Services
- Job routing
- Verification
- Payment
- AI inference
- Video Transcoding
- Real-time AI Video Streaming
Protocol vs Network
The protocol governs.
The network performs the work.
| Layer | Description |
|---|
| Livepeer Protocol | On-chain crypto-economic incentives & coordination; staking; payments. |
| Livepeer Network | Off-chain nodes performing real-time work (transcoding, inference, routing). |
| Relationship | The network runs the compute; the protocol governs, secures, and pays it. |
The protocol determines the rules of the game while the network is the players & participants.
On-chain vs Off-chain
- Livepeer protocol = Arbitrum One (L2)
- Livepeer token (LPT) = Ethereum mainnet (L1)
- Livepeer network (GPU nodes + gateways) = off-chain execution layer
Livepeer Nodes, Actors & Roles
A Livepeer actor is any role or entity that participates in the Livepeer protocol or network and performs actions defined by the system.
In Livepeer architecture, “actor” is a formal category used to describe participants with distinct responsibilities, incentives, and interactions.
Actors are fundamental to describing how the network functions end-to-end.
Additionally, actors can also be categorised by the role they play in the network.
- Transcoders: Performs video transcoding operations.
- AI Workers: Executes AI inference tasks (text-to-image, LLM, video-to-video)
