1. Project Introduction
Livepeer, launched in 2017, is the first fully decentralized live video streaming network protocol. The platform aims to serve as a viable alternative to centralized broadcasting solutions for both new and established broadcasters, leveraging blockchain for cost efficiency.
Summary:
Founded in 2017, Livepeer operates as a protocol designed for decentralized video streaming. It consists of a peer-to-peer (P2P) infrastructure running on the Ethereum blockchain. The platform seeks to capitalize on the rapidly growing video streaming industry while addressing current infrastructure-related challenges, such as the high cost of streaming and transcoding raw video files. To tackle these issues, Livepeer aims to develop a more scalable and cost-effective streaming solution. Essentially, the Livepeer network functions by transcoding broadcasters' video files into formats suitable for consumption.
