Livepeer Supports Refraction DAO with Video Disruptor Grant
🎥 Disrupting Video Streams
Livepeer has awarded a Video Disruptor grant to Refraction DAO to research and design solutions for challenges faced by livestream creators and artists. Refraction DAO has completed the initial research milestone, and the next phase of collaboration is forthcoming. Livepeer invites developers, creators, and projects revolutionizing the video landscape to apply for Video Disruptor grants to build the future of video innovation.
Livepeer is proud to support @RefractionDAO with a Video Disruptor grant to investigate and design solutions for the challenges livestream creators and artists face. Check out their latest research milestone 👇 and stay tuned for the next phase of our collaboration ✨
Exploring the essential role and imbalances of live streams inspired our latest research project, in collaboration with @Livepeer. Catch up on our research in Refraction’s latest editorial piece from Henry Ivry, on the hurdles artists mount in the face of audio-visual tools, and
Livepeer Hackathon Winner Creates Unified Data Pipeline for Network Orchestrators
A third-place hackathon winner developed a **unified data pipeline** that gives every Livepeer orchestrator access to the same real-time performance metrics. Currently, builders face **fragmented data** across different orchestrators, explorers, and dashboards. The new solution creates a single pipeline connecting every node, job, and AI inference event. **Key benefits:** - Smarter job routing and orchestrator discovery - Real-time AI model usage insights - Standardized, developer-friendly data access The pipeline surfaces metrics like: - Job volume and GPU types - Model usage patterns - Pricing data **Impact for stakeholders:** - Developers get a data playground to build ecosystem tools - Node operators gain visibility and participation metrics - The network evolves with better coordination This addresses a core infrastructure need as Livepeer orchestrators expand beyond video transcoding into AI workloads, requiring better data coordination across the decentralized network.
