Web3 Goes Live -- Livestreaming Video on the Peer-to-Peer Internet

Tue, Oct 2, 2018, 12:00 AM

The web3 stack offers solutions for payment, computation, identity, and storage, but the live media layer is missing. Built on top of Swarm and an open media server called LPMS, the Livepeer project incentivizes live video transcoding and distribution in a fully decentralized way. This enables any user to send a live stream into the network and ensure it can reach all the devices on the planet at any connection speed. This talk will cover the incentives for running nodes, and the solution for scalable verification of transcoding work designed to be built on top of Truebit. Speaker; Eric Tang
