Livepeer Docs

The Mintlify documentation site for the Livepeer network.

The current Network section covers running the network:

• Orchestrators — GPU operators who run go-livepeer and earn ETH fees + LPT rewards.
• Delegators — LPT holders who bond their stake to an orchestrator and share in its rewards.

A demand-side (developer) section is planned — the structure below is set up for it.

URL structure — /network

Network docs live under the /network path (docs.livepeer.org/network). The /network prefix comes from the network/ folder structure, not from any navigation chrome — so the URLs are stable independent of how the sidebar/tabs are configured.

This namespacing is intentional and forward-looking: a future demand-side (developer) docs section can be added — e.g. /build or /developers — without moving or breaking any /network URL. At that point a top-level tab switcher (navigation.tabs) gets introduced to flip between the two sections. Until then there's no tab, since a lone "Network" tab would be redundant chrome. The root (/) currently redirects to /network (see redirects in docs.json); when the demand-side docs ship, the root and switcher are a config change, not a URL migration.

/                       → redirects to /network (temporary)
/network/*              → run the network: orchestrators + delegators
/build/* (future)       → build on the network: developers

How it's organized — Diátaxis

Within each section, the sidebar follows the Diátaxis framework. Each group serves one need:

Section	Need it serves	Example
Tutorials	Learning by doing	Run your first orchestrator
How-to guides	Achieving a specific task	Set competitive pricing
Explanation	Understanding the why	How the network works
Reference	Looking up exact facts	CLI flags, Protocol parameters

Run it locally

# Install the Mintlify CLI (one-time)
npm install

# Start the dev server at http://localhost:3000
npm run dev

Requires Node.js 19+. The CLI is published as the mint package; npx mint dev also works without installing.

Edit content

Every page is an .mdx file under network/. The sidebar, tabs, theme, and redirects live in docs.json.

Source & accuracy

Content is rebuilt from first principles based on the Livepeer v2 docs at https://docs.livepeer.org. Network values (inflation, unbonding period, active-set size, contract addresses) are governance-controlled and change over time — the Reference pages carry a "last verified" date from on-chain reads, and you can always re-verify against the Livepeer Explorer and on-chain state. Run npm run check to validate navigation and internal links (also enforced in CI).
