Gateway Operators
Commercial Products
Daydream
Livepeer Inc. Commercial Product What it is: An AI video creation platform for creators and builders. Daydream lets users apply AI models to live video streams with low-latency style transfer, motion effects, and generative overlays. Gateway role: Daydream runs its own AI gateway to route inference jobs to Livepeer AI workers. The gateway handles model selection, pricing, and result delivery. Daydream’s developers work directly with the Livepeer Foundation and are active contributors to the remote signer architecture.Streamplace
SPE-funded Commercial Product What it is: A decentralised livestreaming platform built on the AT Protocol (Bluesky ecosystem). Streamplace enables peer-to-peer live video broadcasting with no centralised infrastructure requirement. Gateway role: Streamplace embeds a Livepeer video gateway directly in its platform to handle live transcoding. Like Daydream, the gateway is not exposed as a public API - it is an internal component of the product. Streamplace is funded through an SPE treasury grant.- Website: stream.place
Embody Avatars
Commercial Product What it is: A commercial platform for embodied AI agents built on Livepeer orchestration. Embody provides real-time interactive 3D avatars for education, training, and communication - using Unreal Engine MetaHumans with Pixel Streaming technology. The platform enables AI agents to operate with virtual bodies in a digital economy. Gateway role: Embody runs AI inference workloads through the Livepeer orchestrator network for GPU-intensive avatar rendering. Orchestrators run MetaHuman avatars with Pixel Streaming, handling real-time rendering, TTS, and WebRTC-to-RTMP broadcast (for streaming to Twitch/YouTube).- Platform: embody.zone

Public Gateways
Livepeer Studio
Livepeer Inc. What it is: A developer API and dashboard for video streaming and video-on-demand. Livepeer Studio provides SDKs, an API, and a web console for video workflows - live streaming, transcoding, clip storage, analytics. Gateway role: Livepeer Studio operates a video gateway that routes RTMP transcoding jobs to orchestrators. Developers who use the Studio API are paying Studio’s service margin; Studio pays orchestrators on their behalf.- Website: livepeer.studio
- Studio powers video workflows for games, social apps, creator tools, and live event platforms
Livepeer Cloud (Cloud SPE)
SPE Funded What it is: A public gateway service operated by the Livepeer Cloud SPE - a treasury-funded Special Purpose Entity focused on ecosystem adoption. Cloud provides free RTMP and AI inference gateways for developers evaluating Livepeer. Gateway role: Livepeer Cloud operates multiple public gateways: a video transcoding gateway (RTMP) and an AI inference gateway. These are intentionally accessible without setup cost to drive developer onboarding.- Website: livepeer.cloud
- Blog and tutorials at livepeer.cloud/blog - includes gateway setup guides
- Getting started guide: livepeer.cloud/how-to-run-a-livepeer-gateway-node
LLM SPE
SPE Funded What it is: The first SPE dedicated to a specific AI pipeline. Launched in September 2024, the LLM SPE operates a public AI gateway that routes LLM inference workloads to GPU operators on the Livepeer network. Gateway role: The LLM SPE runs a specialised AI gateway for large language model inference. The API is identical to OpenAI’s SDK, making it a drop-in replacement for developers building RAG applications and AI agents. The SPE focuses on driving demand through education, open-source tooling, and subsidised costs for app developers.- AI workloads generated over $63,700 in revenue in Q2 2025 (over 55% of total protocol fees)
- Related: the Cloud SPE has built a custom Ollama-based AI Runner optimised for GPUs with as little as 8GB VRAM
Gateway Projects
livepeer-python-gateway (j0sh)
Community Project What it is: A Python implementation of the Livepeer gateway client. Enables AI/ML engineers to route Livepeer inference jobs natively from Python without running a Go binary. What it enables: Python-native gateway integration for ML pipelines, Jupyter notebooks, and Python web applications. Uses the remote signer architecture to handle ETH payments without requiring a Go gateway binary.- Repository: github.com/j0sh/livepeer-python-gateway
- Examples:
github.com/j0sh/livepeer-python-gateway/tree/main/examples
Community Remote Signer (Elite Encoder)
Community Project What it is: A publicly hosted remote signer endpoint maintained by community operator Elite Encoder. Provides a free ETH signing service for off-chain gateway operators who do not want to manage their own Ethereum infrastructure. What it enables: Any developer can run an off-chain gateway without holding any ETH, by pointing at this community signer.- Endpoint:
https://signer.eliteencoder.net/ - Cost: Free (as of community Discord confirmation)
NaaP - Network as a Platform
In Development What it is: An in-development reference implementation. NaaP (Network as a Platform) provides JWT-based authentication, Developer API Keys, and per-user usage tracking on top of a Livepeer gateway. What it enables: Multi-tenant gateway access - you operate a gateway, issue API keys to developers, track their usage, and handle billing. Developers never interact with Ethereum or Livepeer contracts directly.- Repository: github.com/livepeer/naap
- Status: Active development, not yet stable API
tools.livepeer.cloud
SPE Funded What it is: A community dashboard for monitoring the Livepeer AI network. Shows active orchestrators, their capabilities, pricing, and performance metrics. What it enables: Gateway operators can use this to identify and filter orchestrators for their workloads, check current market pricing, and monitor network-wide AI capacity.- Site: tools.livepeer.cloud
Owncast Integration
Status Unknown What it is: Owncast is an open-source, self-hosted live streaming platform. It supports RTMP input from OBS and other encoders, and can route transcoding through a Livepeer gateway. What it enables: Self-hosted streamers can use Livepeer for transcoding without cloud provider costs. Owncast + Livepeer gateway is a common setup in the self-hosted streaming community.- Owncast: owncast.online
