Orchestrators
Connect GPUs to the network. Process video transcoding and AI inference jobs, and earn ETH fees plus LPT rewards.
Delegators
Hold LPT? Bond it to an orchestrator to help secure the network and share in its rewards — no hardware required.
Start here
Run your first orchestrator
A guided, end-to-end walkthrough: from a bare GPU machine to a node that earns on mainnet.
Delegate your first LPT
A guided walkthrough: from LPT in your wallet to a confirmed, reward-earning delegation.
Looking to build on Livepeer instead? These docs cover running the network. A developer
platform — and a Build section of these docs — is on the way. In the meantime, ask in the
Livepeer Discord; the team and community can point you at what’s
possible today.
How these docs are organized
The sidebar follows the Diátaxis framework. Each section answers a different kind of question, so go to the one that matches what you need right now:| If you want to… | Go to | Example |
|---|---|---|
| Learn by doing, step by step | Tutorials | Run your first orchestrator |
| Accomplish a specific task | How-to guides | Set competitive pricing |
| Understand how it works | Explanation | How the network works |
| Look up an exact value | Reference | CLI flags, protocol parameters |
Network values such as inflation, the unbonding period, the active-set size, and contract
addresses are governance-controlled and change over time. Treat the numbers here as a
starting point and verify the live values on the Livepeer Explorer
and on-chain. See Protocol parameters.
