Streamplace is a Livepeer Special Purpose Entity (SPE) building open-source decentralised video infrastructure for social networks, livestreaming platforms, and Web3-native apps. It routes video ingest and processing through Livepeer’s network, signs every segment with C2PA and Ethereum provenance, and ships an SDK that drops into AT Protocol applications. This page exists to route you to the canonical Streamplace documentation. The setup, node install, SDK reference, and integration guides are maintained by the Streamplace team in the .
Integration Scenarios
Streamplace solves three integration scenarios that the lower-level Livepeer primitives leave open.
The integration path is a Streamplace node plus the SDK package documented by the Streamplace team. The node handles ingest, segmentation, provenance signing, and transcoding dispatch to Livepeer; the SDK gives your app a typed client and a React player component.
Streamplace and Livepeer
Streamplace runs production BYOC workloads on the Livepeer Network. The relationship is:
The Streamplace node is the boundary between your application and the Livepeer Network. Most developers integrate at the SDK layer and let the node handle the network plumbing. Operators self-host the node for full control; managed deployments use the Streamplace-operated node infrastructure.
For context on BYOC as the underlying compute mechanism, see BYOC Overview. For the AI Jobs API path without the AT Protocol layer, see AI Jobs Direct Quickstart.
Canonical Setup Path
The canonical setup, including node install, SDK quickstart, metadata schema, and integration examples, lives in the Solutions tab.Streamplace Overview
Start here: node install, SDK quickstart, provenance configuration, player integration. Maintained by the Streamplace team.
- Install the Streamplace node binary
- Configure metadata, rights, and distribution policy
- Start a livestream via the CLI or SDK
- Embed the

Your Streamplace BYOC container is running on the network. The same container pattern works for any Python model; swap the inference logic inside process_frame() and redeploy.
