About
Livepeer (LPT)

Livepeer (LPT) is a decentralized video streaming network built on the Ethereum blockchain, designed to provide a scalable, cost-effective, and censorship-resistant infrastructure for video transcoding and distribution. It aims to revolutionize how video content is processed and delivered by offering an open alternative to traditional, centralized video processing services. The core of Livepeer's technology relies on a distributed network of node operators, known as Orchestrators, who contribute their computing resources to perform video transcoding tasks. This peer-to-peer system leverages blockchain technology to coordinate and incentivize participants, ensuring reliable and efficient video processing for developers and broadcasters building media dApps.

The LPT token is the native digital asset of the Livepeer network, functioning as a crucial utility token and work token. Token holders can stake LPT to become Orchestrators or delegate their LPT to existing Orchestrators, thereby participating in network security and earning a share of the fees and inflationary rewards. This staking mechanism ensures that Orchestrators perform their transcoding duties honestly and efficiently. Broadcasters utilize the network for video encoding and streaming, paying fees that contribute to the ecosystem's economy. As a foundational element of Web3 video infrastructure, Livepeer enhances the capabilities of decentralized applications requiring robust video functionalities, positioning itself as a key player in the future of on-chain media delivery and content streaming with strong cryptographic security.

Frequently asked questions

  • What is the NGN/LPT pair and its significance for the Web3 media ecosystem?

    The NGN/LPT pair represents the ability to purchase Livepeer's native utility token (LPT) using the Nigerian Naira (NGN). Its significance lies in providing a fiat on-ramp for users in Nigeria to participate in the Livepeer network, a decentralized video streaming protocol. By acquiring LPT, users can act as delegators or orchestrators, contributing to the video transcoding process that forms the core of this Web3 media layer.
  • What are common methods to buy LPT with Nigerian Naira considering local banking regulations?

    Due to potential restrictions from the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) on direct cryptocurrency purchases from banks, peer-to-peer (P2P) trading platforms are a prevalent method. On these platforms, you can use a local bank transfer to pay another individual who then releases the LPT (or an intermediate asset like USDT) to your digital wallet. Always use an exchange with a secure escrow service and ensure the platform has high liquidity for NGN pairs.
  • What technical role does LPT play in securing the Livepeer network after purchase?

    LPT is a work token used for staking within the Livepeer protocol. After acquiring LPT, you can stake it by delegating to an 'Orchestrator' node. This act of delegating helps secure the network by ensuring Orchestrators have a financial incentive to transcode video streams honestly and efficiently. In return for your stake, which acts as a security bond, you can earn a portion of the Orchestrator's fees and newly minted LPT, creating a token-incentivized protocol.
  • What are the typical fees when converting NGN to LPT on a P2P exchange?

    When using a P2P platform, there are several fee types. First, the exchange rate offered by the P2P seller often includes a small premium over the market rate. Second, the exchange itself may charge a small escrow or trading fee, typically a low percentage of the transaction volume. Finally, when you withdraw the LPT from the exchange to your personal digital wallet, you will incur a blockchain transaction fee, also known as a gas fee, which is variable and depends on network congestion.
  • How can I securely store and manage my LPT tokens after an NGN purchase?

    For maximum security and to participate in the protocol, it is recommended to move your LPT from the exchange's custodial wallet to a non-custodial digital wallet where you control the private keys. Options include browser extension wallets like MetaMask or hardware wallets like Ledger or Trezor for superior security. From your non-custodial wallet, you can interact directly with the Livepeer staking interface to delegate your tokens to an Orchestrator.
