Start Spreading the Word: Livepeer Walks the Talk in November

It’s good to talk — and Livepeer has lived up to that lately, hosting a series of lively and informative Twitter Spaces with industry experts.

Join Us by the Fireside

Livepeer partnered with Encode Club last month to host an incredible eight-week hackathon dedicated to building web3 creator tools and apps on Livepeer. Next Video Build launched November 8th, with the final submission deadline of January 8th.

As part of the event, Livepeer’s Head of Ecosystem Growth, Shannon Wells, hosted a series of Twitter spaces with project team leaders currently making waves in web3:

• During her fireside chat with Deb from Lit Protocol, the talk dived into access control, exploring what it is and why it’s important in a web 3 context. You can catch up with the recording here.
• We heard how to extend web3 video apps with data streams and robust monetization features when Shannon spoke with Matt Fontana from Streamr. Join the fireside here.
• Another project getting people talking is web3 messaging protocol XMTP. Shannon’s conversation with co-founder Matt Galligan can be accessed here.

A Case in Point

Our regularly updated case studies series is the go-to place for practical but inspiring accounts of developers who found a great idea and decided to run with it.

The latest case study is just such a story, uncovered by Livepeer Product Marketing Manager, Drake Bauer. Ayush Ranjan and Susmit Lavania were hacking together at ETHGlobal 2020 when they noticed that, despite the event’s focus on decentralization, all of the virtual meetings and governance calls were still being held on Zoom. The result was Huddle01. Discover how they partnered with Livepeer to build web3’s video conferencing alternative.

In November we also published a case study featuring the402, a web3 livestreaming platform powered by Livepeer Studio where creators can token gate livestreams and monetize superfans by leveraging crypto. Read the case study here.
