Livepeer Bounties

Welcome to the Livepeer Software Bounties program! Livepeer is a decentralized community building the world's open video infrastructure. We're excited to invite you to contribute and earn rewards for your efforts. Visit the issues tab to find community-requested tasks with rewards for completion. Several entities within the Livepeer ecosystem offer bounties, including:

• The AI SPE: A special purpose entity focused on putting AI jobs on the Livepeer network. Their bounties are labelled AI and funded by the Livepeer treasury.

Only members of these entities can create issues in the issues tab. If you have ideas for bounties, questions about the program, or need assistance, please use the Discussions Board or join the #🛋│developer-lounge channel on our Discord server.

Tip

Besides these software bounties, the Livepeer ecosystem offers grants for more significant tasks and projects. You can find more information about the grants program here. For security researchers, we also have a bug bounty program detailed here.
