Final Network Advisory Board Layout
After initial discussions with board members, we made some adjustments to the Network Advisory Board to strengthen its composition. These updates bring in more outward-facing builders, striking a better balance between core Livepeer expertise, external founders, and independent domain experts.
The revised board structure ensures a strategically capable, well-rounded group equipped to guide the future of the Livepeer network.
