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(maintained under the livepeer/ organisation), [Community] (maintained by ecosystem contributors), or [Archived] (no longer maintained).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 |
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 |
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 |
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.

|---|
| 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 |

| Repo | Tag | Role |
|---|
| Livepeer/docs | Official | This documentation site. MDX, Mintlify |

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.
