A little story about the Interptr Orchestrator – a network of transcoding nodes on the Livepeer Protocol (LPT) … On Arbitrum …

With dedicated GPU servers in Europe and on each of the US East and West coasts, Interptr has been online 24/7 since March of 2021 and is committed to providing fast and reliable live-stream transcoding for broadcasters as well as a great value proposition for delegators. We’ve earned over 7 Eth in the past couple of years (March 2022 – Feb 2024) for our transcoding work – and shared 75% of that with our delegators!

Our sharing structure, consisting of our fee cut of 25% and 4% reward cut, is one of the most generous among all top performing Orchestrators. This means you, as a delegator, will keep 96% of inflationary LPT rewards and share in 75% of all ETH earned for transcoding! We do call ‘reward’ for inflationary LPT daily ( every “round” ), and with your stake, we can bring more work to the Interptr transcoding nodes and generate even more ETH to share.

You can claim your share of the eth reward from your account page at any time. The LPT rewards are automatically added to your actual stake – compounding your earnings!

Feel free to ask to add as a friend to @ message us on the Livepeer Discord if you need help getting $LPT ERC-20 from Layer 1 bridged onto the Arbitrum network – ( username: _ptr | interptr.eth / original discord handle : @_ptr#9924 – note: I will never DM you first )

Disclaimer: The transcoding fees ( in ETH ) are split according to % of LPT delegated – which includes Interptr’s own self-stake of LPT which we do try to keep low intentionally ( under ~200LPT ).

Interptr is currently in the top 20 in daily and weekly average performance globally and hoping to get back to our previous #1 spot someday, which we held for most of Q4 2021. You can check the current leaderboard here.

Our scores haven’t gone down, but many other orchestrators have expanded to cover more of the globe and so are currently scored higher than our average ~9 out of 10. We’re hoping to expand to more nodes soon ( If you have any reasonably-priced hosted GPU suggestions – please reach out!)

Staking is as easy as connecting your wallet containing LivePeer tokens, selecting the amount and confirming – MetaMask, WalletConnect, Coinbase Wallet, Fortmatic, and Portis wallets are all supported.
