With token inflation starting to decline in some rounds, does staking $LPT still matter?
YES, and here’s why delegation is more important than ever as Livepeer evolves 🧵👇
Livepeer’s protocol adjusts inflation based on staking participation.
With participation hovering at ~50%, we’re now seeing inflation begin to drop in some rounds, and that’s by design.
But lower inflation ≠ lower opportunity.
So, what is delegation?
It’s when you stake your LPT with a node operator (aka orchestrator), helping them earn work and share fees.
You get a cut of the rewards. They get more job flow. Win-win.
In the early days, rewards came mostly from token emissions.
But now the shift is on:
Real usage (transcoding, AI compute, livestreaming) is generating real fees.
Delegation links you directly to that value.
Why delegation still matters:
- Signals trust in top-performing operators
- Supports decentralization
- Shares in usage-based rewards
- Aligns you with the protocol’s long-term success
And it’s not just about rewards.
Delegation helps secure the network, route jobs efficiently, and steer resources toward those doing the work.
It’s core infrastructure.
Fees on Livepeer recently hit an all-time high, with over 60% coming from AI video compute jobs.
This is no longer theoretical.
Delegators backing active orchestrators are already earning from it.
Bottom line:
📉 Inflation is slowing
📈 Network usage is growing
Delegation is your on-ramp to participate in both
You’re not just staking tokens, you’re powering the future of video.
Start delegating here:
Make sure you’re supporting an active orchestrator, aligned, and delivering real work.
