# Livepeer (LPT) — machine-readable summary

> FORTUNA SIGNAL · FORA-01 evidence dossier · Researched 2026-09-15 · https://ron-delhaye-studios.github.io/fortuna-signal-live/tokens/lpt.html

## Definition
Livepeer is a decentralized, token-incentivized live video streaming and transcoding infrastructure network.

## What the holder owns (FORA-01 Q1)
LPT is Livepeer's staking/coordination token: orchestrators stake LPT to perform video transcoding work and earn fees plus newly minted LPT, and delegators bond LPT to node operators. It is explicitly not the medium of exchange for services (fees are paid in ETH/stablecoins).

## Verification verdict
Class B (Class B) — FORA-01 scale: verification, not a quality ranking.
q1 VERIFIED · q2 VERIFIED · q3 VERIFIED · q4 VERIFIED · q5 PARTIALLY VERIFIED

## Plain-language utility
Staked by video-transcoding node operators on the Livepeer network.

## Key risks & notes
The 2017 paper predates major protocol upgrades, so some details are dated. Inflation-based rewards dilute non-participants. Transcoding verification and slashing design are complex. It competes with centralized cloud video infrastructure.
