The Livepeer project aims to deliver a live video-streaming network protocol that is fully decentralized, highly scalable and crypto-token incentivized to serve as the live media layer in the decentralized development (Web3) stack. Read our documentation to learn more about the protocol and its economic incentives.

go-livepeer is a Go implementation of the Livepeer protocol which powers the Livepeer Network. Specifically, go-livepeer contains implementations of Broadcaster, Orchestrator, and Transcoder nodes (roles) in the Livepeer Network ecosystem.
