Livepeer is a decentralized protocol project that focuses on delivering a scalable live video streaming network. This network is not only fully decentralized but also incentivized through the use of cryptocurrency tokens. It's aimed to serve as the live media layer within the decentralized web (web3) stack. The protocol is designed to be an economically efficient alternative to traditional centralized broadcasting platforms.
Livepeer is built on the Ethereum blockchain and uses its native token, LPT, as a staking currency. Broadcasters use Ether (ETH) to broadcast video on the network while nodes contributing to the network's functionalities earn ETH as fees from these broadcasters. The LPT token allows participants to perform work on the network and aids in coordinating how this work gets distributed. It also provides security to ensure work is accurately and honestly completed.
The Livepeer Token (LPT) plays several essential roles within the Livepeer ecosystem:
It acts as a bonding mechanism in the delegated proof of stake system. Here, stake is delegated to transcoders (validators) that participate in the protocol to transcode video and validate work. The token, and possible slashing due to protocol violation, serves as a security measure against various forms of attacks.
It helps to distribute work across the network according to the amount of staked and delegated tokens, serving as a coordination mechanism.
The LPT token serves as a unit of account that is exclusive to the Livepeer ecosystem, giving rise to a SectorCoin concept that could be applied to additional functionalities in the future.
The security of the Livepeer network is anchored by the LPT token through a delegated proof of stake system. This system involves delegating stakes to transcoders who transcode video and validate work. In doing so, the system offers protection against multiple types of attacks, thanks to the potential slashing that could occur due to protocol violation.
As with many blockchain projects, the creators of Livepeer aren't as publicly recognized as the project itself. However, the team comprises experts in various fields, including video streaming technology, blockchain, and business. They are continuously working to improve the platform and make decentralized broadcasting a reality.
Livepeer is designed to be used by broadcasters looking for an economically efficient alternative to centralized livestreaming solutions. Moreover, any stakeholder can fulfill various roles within the network, making it beneficial to a wide range of users. The functionality introduced by Livepeer can be applied to multiple media services, including DVR, closed captioning, ad insertion/monetization, and analytics.
As of this write-up, the market capitalization of Livepeer stands at approximately $ 511.4M, placing it at rank #183 among all cryptocurrencies.
Livepeer (LPT) can be purchased on various cryptocurrency exchanges. Currently, it's listed on BTCTurk, Gemini, Zonda. As with other cryptocurrencies, it can be traded for either other cryptos or fiat currencies, depending on the exchange.
