Livepeer, an Ethereum-based decentralized transcoding network, seeks to lower streaming video hosting expenses by dispersing the transcoding workload among the network’s machines. Here, Livepeer comes to the rescue by providing an open, decentralized network where everyone may donate their computer resources to video streaming, resulting in huge cost savings.

Using Ethereum to manage the whole process and settle the payments, Livepeer constructs peer-to-peer infrastructure that interacts via a marketplace. There are already more than 70,000 GPUs in the Livepeer network, enough to encode all video streaming on Twitch, YouTube, and Facebook together, according to the startup.

According to CoinMarketCap, the Livepeer price today is $47.31 USD with a 24-hour trading volume of $128,056,252 USD. Livepeer has been up 5.21% in the last 24 hours.
