A Journey in Decentralized Social Video

Eli introduces Live Peer, emphasizing its decentralized network for video transcoding aimed at user-generated content platforms. Instead of using centralized services like Google or Amazon, Live Peer leverages a decentralized network of orchestrators for more cost-effective video processing. The discussion then transitions to Stream Place, a project inspired by the work at Live Peer. The aim of Stream Place is to create a decentralized social video platform using the App Protocol, emphasizing an enduring, decentralized architecture for live streaming and video archiving. The script outlines the technical intricacies of this approach, including cryptographically secure segmenting and the potential integration challenges with Blue Sky’s PDS.
