Who we are
Simply put, blockchain infrastructure is what we do. We create custom, blockchain dedicated infrastructure optimized for developers and enterprise customers. We utilize tier 4 datacenters and offer military-grade security, high throughput, and low latent connections to provide developers and enterprise with the support they need.
Our Purpose
We want to help build and shape the future of blockchain and distributed ledger technologies by creating and sharing value with our partners. We believe that our value creation lies in building network infrastructure to power blockchain.
Our Goals
Our primary goal is to bring blockchain mainstream. Our part of this journey is providing top tier infrastructure to build on. As we’ve been in the blockchain space for a time, we’ve also noticed that there is a need to create tools and applications for developers and consumers to use which will help spur adoption. As such, we are starting to focus more on building those things on top of the blockchains we support. This is a long term goal for us and we are still hiring the final personnel we’ll need to accomplish this, but we expect to be able to show positive and solid progress by fall 2019. Keep an eye out in the forum for updates!
Goals for the LivePeer Community:
- Be active in governance and consistently participate. We’re not speculators or an investment firm and frankly, we’ve seen a little too much of that lately. We want to support synergy within the community to continue to build a valuable product!
- Help build additional functionalities for LivePeer! We are believers that LivePeer can transform the way video is streamed and we are even more interested in building tools that can leverage LivePeer to help stop “deep-fakes”. We’ll be looking into this more over the summer and will provide updates to the community as we work.
- We’re not aware of a community pool for grants at this time, but are willing to look at contributing a portion of our rewards to a community pool that could be used as a grant by devs in the community to build new features!
- We’ll be increasing our stake over the coming weeks and to get into the top 20 transcoders or higher.
- We’re doing this full time so we’ll ensure that rewards are called daily.
- We’ll have automated escalation chains to maximize server uptime.
Hardware
We’re running a VPS instance right now:
4 core
8GB RAM
500GB SSD
We plan on transitioning to a server in our data center by the end of March 2019 where we’ll run on similar specs, have full server backups, faster write speeds, and up to 10GB of bandwidth (if we need it).
Fee share, reward cut, and price:
These numbers will potentially change over time, however we are committed to transparency and will provide ample notice before changing anything.
We’ll be posting weekly updates to the forum and will strive for maximum transparency for all that we do on the LivePeer network.
Based on what we’ve observed, these are our initial cuts:
Reward Cut = 10.00%
Fee Share = 35%
Price = 150 GWEI
