Livepeer.org is the primary online resource for participants and users of the Livepeer network.
The Livepeer.org
Mission
The purpose of Livepeer.org is to be the best portal to Livepeer for its participants and users.
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.
Who's behind Livepeer.org?
In 2017, the founders of the Livepeer project formed a company called Livepeer, Inc. to help facilitate its early development, bootstrap the network’s supply and demand sides, and guide the project’s path to decentralization.
