Livepeer (LPT) is up about 4,400% from the beginning of the year. Intending to lower production costs, it’s a distributed video streaming service. According to the company’s website, video streaming accounts for 80% of internet bandwidth. Additionally, businesses shell out a lot of cash to have videos produced.

This effectively pays LPT holders for donating their computer processing power and bandwidth to transcoding videos. Those who own LPT tokens may also assist the contributors by staking their tokens.
