Livepeer (LPT) is a decentralized video transcoding network built on Ethereum. Launched in 2017 by Doug Petkanics and Eric Tang, Livepeer lets anyone with spare GPU and CPU capacity earn tokens by doing the heavy compute work of converting live video streams from one format and bitrate to many. Every streaming platform, broadcaster, or app developer that joins the network pays for transcoding in ETH; that payment is split among the node operators who did the work.
Livepeer is one of the oldest DePIN projects in crypto. The idea is elegant: video transcoding is a well-understood, commoditised task that cloud providers charge handsomely for, and GPU owners already running hardware can take that work at a fraction of the cost. The protocol is live and processing real traffic, not a testnet concept.
LPT trades on Binance, Coinbase, Kraken, OKX, and Uniswap. The deepest pair is LPT/USDT. Live data on this page refreshes every 60 seconds from a volume-weighted multi-venue feed. The all-time high sits near $99, set in November 2021 during the NFT and DePIN narrative peak.
What moves LPT on a given day:
The card at the top of this page shows the live quote. For long-range scenarios, our Livepeer price forecast covers multi-year projections. To see how Livepeer stacks up against another compute DePIN, compare it with Render Network which targets GPU rendering rather than transcoding.
Livepeer splits its participants into two roles: orchestrators and delegators. Orchestrators run transcoding software, connect GPUs and CPUs to the network, and compete to win video jobs from broadcasters. Delegators hold LPT but do not run infrastructure; instead, they stake their LPT behind an orchestrator they trust. When an orchestrator earns fees and inflation rewards, both the orchestrator and all delegators behind it share the earnings proportionally.
The practical result is a market where broadcasters pay competitive prices for transcoding, GPU owners earn fees and inflation, and LPT stakers participate in both without running any hardware. The protocol is live on Ethereum mainnet and Arbitrum.
Livepeer has no hard supply cap, which is the most common criticism of its tokenomics. LPT supply expands each round (roughly every day) via protocol inflation. The rate is calibrated so that if fewer than 50 percent of LPT is staked, inflation is high to incentivise delegation. As participation rises toward 50 percent, inflation drops. The design tries to keep the staking rate near equilibrium rather than choosing a fixed issuance schedule.
The supply situation means LPT valuation is best thought of as a fee-revenue multiple rather than a fixed-supply store of value. The relevant question is not price per token but whether fee revenue per token is growing.
Livepeer has spent years building integrations with real video infrastructure. The network is positioned as middleware: it sits between a video application and the raw compute, handling only transcoding while the rest of the stack stays with the developer.
The ecosystem breadth means Livepeer is not reliant on a single application type. However, total network usage still skews toward a small number of large customers, which is a concentration risk the project actively discusses.
Livepeer and Render Network are the two most cited decentralised compute DePIN tokens, and they come up in the same conversation often enough to be worth a direct comparison.
The two projects are not direct competitors, since transcoding and GPU rendering overlap only at the edges. But they serve the same macro thesis: spare hardware earns tokens by serving real compute demand.
LPT is available on major centralised exchanges and on Uniswap. Because Livepeer is Ethereum-native, an Ethereum-compatible wallet is the right custody choice.
If you intend to participate in staking, delegate within a few days of purchase. Unclaimed inflation rewards do not accrue for non-delegating wallets, so sitting idle on an exchange means missing compounding.
Livepeer has more live usage history than most DePIN tokens, but several structural risks remain for anyone sizing a position.

In the last 24 hours, the LPT price has risen +23.99%. On a seven-day window, Livepeer has climbed +17.99%, showing consistent upward momentum across both windows. Short-term moves are often amplified by liquidity, news flow, and derivatives positioning, so confirm signals across multiple indicators before acting.
Livepeer's all-time high of $99.03 was set on November 9, 2021. The current price sits +98.37% below that peak. Distance from the all-time high is a common reference point when evaluating long recoveries and macro support or resistance.
Buying Livepeer (LPT) is a five-step routine once you have picked the right venue and pair. The steps below mirror what most investors do today.
You can also use the Livepeer converter above to estimate how much LPT you would get for a given dollar amount before placing the order.
Whether Livepeer is a good investment depends on your goals, time horizon, and tolerance for volatility. Like all cryptocurrencies, LPT carries real market risk: prices can rise or fall sharply in a day, and past performance is not a reliable indicator of future returns.
