The Mintlify documentation site for the Livepeer network.
The current Network section covers running the network:
- Orchestrators — GPU operators who run
go-livepeerand 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.
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
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 |
# 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
mintpackage;npx mint devalso works without installing.
Every page is an .mdx file under network/. The sidebar, tabs, theme, and redirects
live in docs.json.
Content is rebuilt from first principles based on the Livepeer v2 docs at
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).
