Developer Persona

Definition: A Developer is:

Any builder who writes software, infrastructure, smart contracts, or tools that consume or extend Livepeer’s decentralised real-time video & AI compute network.

Developers map into concrete Livepeer roles only through their mode of interaction:

Via hosted Gateways → Application Developer (not a protocol actor)
Via self-hosted Gateway → Gateway Operator
Via protocol contract development → Protocol Developer
Via GPU node tooling → Tooling Developer
Via ecosystem operations → Community/Governance Contributor
