The World's Open Video Infrastructure
Livepeer is a decentralized video streaming network built on the Ethereum blockchain.
About Livepeer.org
Livepeer.org is the primary online resource for participants and users of the Livepeer network.
Mission
Through the power of open source software, the harnessing of underutilized resources like compute and bandwidth, and the use of cryptoeconomic incentives for bootstrapping and participation, there is an opportunity to deliver an infrastructure that can power video streaming applications at a highly efficient price, and infinite scale.
Along with the proliferation of high quality cameras and ubiquitous bandwidth, the belief is that this will enable video applications to be created that were never before possible under traditional, centralized cost structures, which unlock communications, economic opportunity, and entertainment for society going forward.
By providing the best possible portal to Livepeer, we hope to help capture this opportunity and fulfill the project’s mission as laid out in the original whitepaper and founder’s statement — to build the world’s open video infrastructure.
