The Livepeer project aims to deliver a live video streaming network protocol that is fully decentralized, highly scalable, crypto token incentivized, and results in a solution which can serve as the live media layer in the decentralized development (web3) stack. You can learn more about the protocol and economic incentives by reading our whitepaper.
This monorepo contains JavaScript tools and applications that interact with Livepeer's smart contracts and peer-to-peer network.
This project requires node >=10.0.0 and yarn >=1.0.0. A unix shell is also
required.
To get started, clone the repo and install its dependencies:
git clone https://github.com/livepeer/livepeerjs.git
cd livepeerjs
yarnFor development purposes there's a top-level dev script that will watch and
continuously compile all packages concurrently:
yarn devFor next steps, take a look at documentation for the individual package(s) you want to run and/or develop.
