1/ 🚀 Today we’re excited to introduce the Livepeer Foundation: a new, neutral entity stewarding the next phase of growth, decentralization, and ecosystem coordination across the Livepeer network.

Why is the open internet is so important?

Without an open internet, all that’s left is censorship. The internet should be what it was always meant to be, an open, accessible ecosystem. The path forward is building open-access products built on the Livepeer network. 🎤: @ericxtang, @petkanics, @honestly_rich, @hthillman

Real-time AI video needs speed, scale and openness. Closed clouds can’t deliver it, but a community-powered network can. Livepeer is building the real-time video AI layer the next generation will build on. Read more in Livepeer’s latest vision update. https://t.co/QGfZq1QkMr

Next step 👇 🟢Deep productization. 🟢Benchmarking for world-class latency. 🟢Scaling the GPU marketplace. 🟢Building directly for gaming, entertainment, robotics and security. 🟢Making real-time AI video fast, reliable and ready for developers.

Three pillars set us apart: 🟢Lowest latency for real-time AI + world models 🟢Cost-effective, pay-as-you-go scalability (no idle GPUs) 🟢Open, decentralized, and owned by the community ⚡

There are so many industry opportunities, for instance with video, gaming, robotics, security and entire worlds now generated by AI. Latency and compute at scale is 🔑

From interactive live streaming to generative world models, Livepeer’s open-access, low-latency network of GPUs will be the best compute solution for cutting edge AI video workflows. Projects like @DaydreamLiveAI, Embody, and Agent SPE avatars are live proof.

All time high fees from AI at Livepeer: The Cascade vision is officially paying off. We’ve evolved from streaming infra to powering real-time AI video, and Q3 network fees are up 3x year over year, with 72% now from AI processing 🚀

@avax Expanded coverage: TVL is now available for Lighter (currently at $1.2B). This metric is visible here and available in charts on Studio. Expanded Spark coverage, including Spark Savings as a new product, and fees and revenue metrics for Spark Liquidity Layer. These metrics are

Can you explain @ethereum to your grandma?

Scenes from our IRL meetup with @Livepeer and @encodeclub in London 🇬🇧 Shoutout to Jamie (Sound of Fractures), whose workshop on creative video AI proved that intention cuts through noise. The real advantage in a world of infinite content.

"We are entering a post-naive, post-platform cultural moment: small groups are building their own micro-cultures that thrive both online and in-person. The pendulum is swinging back toward the value of IRL connection even as new networked structures emerge." Shared observation

Personal @EFDevcon highlight: @Livepeer @refraction_irl roundtable on decentralized social media & art, moderation. Main takeaway: we need to do a better job communicating the benefits of tokenized content & creator coins. Thank you for having me 💌 @nick_hollins @mal_levy

Did you know @brian_armstrong led @coinbase to become the first major cryptocurrency company to go public in 2021? 🎤: @petkanics

We asked @NiaAnDraoi42 who he'd spend the day with in crypto if he had the chance. @VitalikButerin are you free for a game day?

Later that night we flipped the venue a full on ragger. @refraction_irl x Livepeer with more than 500 people in attendance. Streaming live to Farcaster and Base App through UFO.

A standout moment came from Franco, who shared how @DaydreamLiveAI lets him create at all because compute is too expensive where he lives. A reminder of why open, affordable video AI matters.

Some of the big themes that surfaced 👇 🟢 Authenticity and provenance 🟢 Real-time video workflows 🟢 Human and model signals 🟢 Trust across open media layers 🟢 Creative needs in regions with high GPU costs
