Over the past several months the Livepeer community has been debating, shaping, building, and testing a proposal called Livepeer Delta, which is aimed at introducing sustainable public goods funding into the Livepeer ecosystem through a community governed, onchain treasury. The treasury would be populated by a portion of the daily Livepeer inflationary rewards over time, and token holders would have the ability to make proposals and subsequently vote on use of funds from the treasury. Spiritu...

Required Reading at FWB FEST 2023Shannon Wells, Head of Ecosystem, LivepeerIn Understanding Media, Marshall McLuhan famously wrote “the medium is the message”: the channel through which content is carried holds as much, if not more value, than the content itself. McLuhan’s theory of the interplay between culture and technology, written for the 1960s electronic age of television, is even more important to consider today.

November was a packed month for Livepeer. Coming off such a busy October – which included the launch of Livepeer Delta and its community-governed treasury, the inaugural meeting of the Livepeer Catalyst Hackers Group, a technical team tasked with documenting and shipping the Catalyst API, and a fruitful visit to the video developer conference Demuxed – you might think things would slow down a bit. Instead, the Livepeer community kept its foot on the gas, released a new AI-powered set of docs,...

by Doug Petkanics It has been a little over three weeks since the Livepeer community approved a governance proposal to introduce a community governed onchain treasury to the protocol. It has been populating with LPT round-by-round, and already contains over 29,000 LPT to be used for public goods funding for the ecosystem. Now is a good time for the community to begin establishing the right processes for successfully accessing and deploying this treasury, and this post shares some ideas and su...

We recently offered a high-level view of Livepeer’s current state, and how the work we have undertaken over the past five years has placed us in an excellent position to achieve broad project goals and to seize a rich store of emerging opportunities. We’d now like to take a closer look at one of those goals – one that we believe is mission-critical to becoming the world’s open video architecture: true trustlessness. Since its inception, Livepeer has been on an unwavering path to full decentra...
