Livepeer Opens Applications for the DaydreamLiveAI 2025 Interactive AI Video Program
Livepeer has launched the DaydreamLiveAI 2025 Interactive AI Video Program, a two-week initiative for creators working with interactive and real-time AI video. The program will select 15 participants and offer a total prize pool of $5,000. It includes workshops, office hours, and a demo day, focusing on experimentation with emerging AI video tools ahead of broader market adoption. The program starts on December 22, with winners announced on January 9.LPT InfoLivepeer is a decentralized protocol, leveraging the Ethereum blockchain to democratize the field of video processing. It provides an avenue for any participant to integrate video content into applications with a level of efficiency and cost-effectiveness that is superior to traditional solutions.Livepeer’s operation hinges on the principle of decentralized video processing, achieved by distributing transcoding tasks among a network of node operators. Transcoding is the crucial process of converting raw video files into an optimal format for each end user, factoring in variables like screen size and internet connectivity. This mechanism ensures an uninterrupted delivery of video content. The use of game theory, cryptoeconomic incentives, and smart contracts underpins Livepeer’s ability to foster a secure, reliable, and economical system of video processing.Livepeer“s native asset, the Livepeer token (LPT), plays a pivotal role in the network”s functioning. As an ERC-20 token, it not only ensures the network’s security but also equitably distributes video processing tasks among participants. Furthermore, it encourages active participation by incentivizing network roles. The stability, security, and robustness of the network scale in proportion to the amount of LPT committed to it.
