Repository Map

Every Livepeer repository that matters for developers, grouped by network layer. Status and one-line role for each.

---

The Livepeer GitHub organisation hosts over 170 public repositories. This page groups the ones developers actually touch by the network layer they belong to, and tags each one as [Official] (maintained under the livepeer/ organisation), [Community] (maintained by ecosystem contributors), or [Archived] (no longer maintained).

For why each layer exists, see . For where each persona enters the stack, see .

Core Runtime Repositories

Every Livepeer network role runs from one of these binaries. Every other layer in the stack depends on or connects to them.

Repo	Tag	Role	Language
livepeer/go-livepeer	Official	Reference node: orchestrator, gateway, transcoder, broadcaster	Go
livepeer/ai-runner	Official	Containerised inference runtime; go-livepeer spawns one per GPU pipeline	Python
livepeer/lpms	Official	Media-processing primitives over FFmpeg; transcoding and codec operations	Go
livepeer/ai-worker	Official	AI runner client and OpenAPI spec consumed by go-livepeer	Python
livepeer/catalyst	Official	Decentralised media server; handles ingest and segment upload	Go
livepeer/task-runner	Official	Background task executor for hosted-Solution VOD workflows	Go

go-livepeer is the foundation. When AI inference is enabled, it spawns ai-runner Docker containers per GPU and proxies inference requests via a local REST interface. lpms is the media-processing library it uses for transcoding.

On-Chain Protocol Repositories

Cryptoeconomic contracts deployed on Arbitrum One. go-livepeer calls these for all on-chain operations.

Repo	Tag	Role	Language
livepeer/protocol	Official	Solidity contracts: staking, bonding, reward distribution, settlement, treasury	Solidity
livepeer/arbitrum-lpt-bridge	Official	Bridge contracts moving LPT between Ethereum L1 and Arbitrum One	Solidity, TypeScript
livepeer/LIPs	Official	Livepeer Improvement Proposals: canonical record of accepted changes	Markdown

The confluence branch of livepeer/protocol is the deployed Arbitrum version. The streamflow branch covers the L1 contracts (LivepeerToken and BridgeMinter only; all other core protocol contracts are paused on L1).

Gateway API Surface

REST APIs and operator tooling that sit on top of go-livepeer.

Repo / Surface	Tag	Role	Notes
AI Gateway API	Official	REST API for direct AI inference. Two hosted providers: the Studio Gateway (paid) and the Cloud Community Gateway at dream-gateway.livepeer.cloud (free, off-chain)
livepeer/naap	Official	Network-as-a-Platform; Next.js 15 micro-frontend portal shell for AI Compute operators. Ships with 12 core plugins	operator.livepeer.org
eliteprox/pymthouse	Community	Hosted identity, billing, and signer-proxy infrastructure for Livepeer-powered apps. OIDC provider, RFC 8693 token exchange, managed remote-signer proxy	pymthouse.com

The internal livepeer-data-mcp server is not a developer surface. It backs internal operations only.

Real-Time Pipeline Repositories

Live-video-to-video workflows, BYOC containers, trickle transport.

Repo	Tag	Role	Language
livepeer/comfystream	Official	ComfyUI custom-node package that turns workflows into real-time video pipelines	Python
livepeer/ComfyUI-Stream-Pack	Official	StreamDiffusion and related custom nodes for real-time AI video	Python
livepeer/pytrickle	Official	Python SDK for the trickle streaming protocol; FrameProcessor base class for BYOC	Python
muxionlabs/byoc-example-apps	Community	Reference BYOC pipelines: image upscale, audio inference, custom transforms	Python, TypeScript
muxionlabs/byoc-sdk	Community	TypeScript SDK for building BYOC containers and submitting jobs	TypeScript
muxionlabs/livepeer-app-pipelines	Community	Reference application pipelines that compose multiple BYOC capabilities	Mixed

ComfyStream sits above ai-runner on the real-time path and uses pytrickle to exchange frames with an orchestrator. A BYOC developer using pytrickle directly implements the same FrameProcessor interface that ComfyStream uses internally.

Application SDK Repositories

Client libraries for calling the network from an application.

Repo	Tag	Role	Language
livepeer/livepeer-ai-js	Official	JavaScript and TypeScript SDK for the AI Gateway API	TypeScript
livepeer/livepeer-ai-python	Official	Python SDK for the AI Gateway API; Speakeasy-generated	Python
livepeer/ui-kit	Official	React component library: <Player.Root>, <Broadcast.Root>, WebRTC/HLS, accessibility	TypeScript, React
j0sh/livepeer-python-gateway	Community	Python implementation of a Livepeer gateway. OrchestratorSession, PaymentSession, StartJobRequest	Python

livepeer-js and ui-kit refer to the same active repository. The historical livepeer-js namespace redirects to ui-kit.

Agent and Creative Repositories

Agent SDKs and frameworks built on top of the network. Some packages are not yet published to npm.

Repo	Tag	Role	Status
livepeer/storyboard	Official	Agent-powered creative workspace at storyboard-rust.vercel.app. Orchestrates 40 AI models	Live
@livepeer/agent (in storyboard monorepo)	Official	Provider-agnostic agent runtime. Gemini, Claude, OpenAI, Livepeer	Not on npm
@livepeer/creative-kit (in storyboard monorepo)	Official	Canvas state, command router, capability resolver, UI components	Not on npm

The two SDK packages live inside the storyboard monorepo until they ship on npm. Clone the repo to use them today.

Monitoring Repositories

Operator observability; mostly community-maintained.

Repo	Tag	Role	Maintainer
livepeer/livepeer-monitoring	Official	Prometheus exporters and Grafana dashboards for go-livepeer	Livepeer Inc
transcodeninja/livepeer-exporter	Community	Enhanced Prometheus exporter with additional signal coverage	transcodeninja
rickstaa/livepeer-reward-watcher	Community	Alerts when an orchestrator is at risk of missing a reward call	rickstaa
Stronk-Tech ecosystem	Community	Suite of operator tools: OrchestratorTracker, LivepeerPerformanceAI, LivepeerExplorer, StronkAI	Captain Stronk

Governance Repositories

Async governance and async-first coordination.

Repo	Tag	Role
livepeer/LIPs	Official	Livepeer Improvement Proposals
livepeer/coordination	Official	Async-first governance coordination via GitHub issues
livepeer/roadmap	Official	Community-visible roadmap using GitHub Projects

Documentation and Discovery Repositories

Repo	Tag	Role
livepeer/docs	Official	This documentation site. MDX, Mintlify
livepeer/awesome-livepeer	Community	Curated list of projects, tutorials, demos. Also at livepeer.cool

Solutions Repositories

Hosted products built on the network. Documented under ; listed here for completeness.

Repo	Tag	Role
livepeer/studio	Official [Solution; see Solutions tab]	Full Studio monolith: auth, billing, API keys, multistream, recording, signing keys, metrics
Daydream	Official [Solution; see Solutions tab]	Hosted real-time AI video API and consumer app, built on ComfyStream

Layer Dependencies

The stack is a dependency chain. Every layer above depends on the layers below it; each layer can be accessed directly without building at the layers above.

go-livepeer is the foundation. Every other official repository either depends on it, generates clients for its APIs, or provides tooling around it.

ai-runner is spawned by go-livepeer per GPU per pipeline. go-livepeer generates its Go client bindings from ai-runner’s OpenAPI spec via make ai_worker_codegen.

comfystream and pytrickle sit above ai-runner on the real-time path. comfystream uses pytrickle’s trickle protocol to exchange frames with an orchestrator. A BYOC developer using pytrickle directly implements the same FrameProcessor interface.

The AI Gateway API is the standard REST interface that all SDK consumers reach through. Calling livepeer-ai-js or livepeer-ai-python sends requests to a gateway node, which routes them through go-livepeer to the relevant orchestrators.

ui-kit is independent of the AI and protocol path. It provides Player and Broadcast components for browser applications and works against any compatible gateway.
