Livepeer: Build a Video DApp - First Place

[RaffiSapire]

Hi EthBerlin hackers! Livepeer is making video possible in the web3 stack. Because it is peer to peer and decentralized, it’s the infrastructure solution for developers who want to build a video application in the web3 stack.

If You’re a Web Developer, Two Ways to Hack on Livepeer this Weekend

Create a Video DApp using Livepeer

• Start here - We’ve built an end to end tutorial that shows you how to get an app using livepeer running Video-based Dapps (34.201.26.245:3000/test (this is the dapp the tutorial builds), livepeer.tv)
• Infrastructure tools and services for broadcasters or live streamers (for example, SAAS services on top of Livepeer)

Integrate live video into your own hack - Livepeer Tools

• Use Livepeer.js library The livepeer.js library allows you to communicate with the smart contracts that define the Livepeer protocol. Rather than calling solidity code directly, it provides a high level interface for web3 developers. You can easily get information about broadcasters, transcoders, your streaming job without having to call solidity contracts directly.

• Livepeer React component. Here’s an example React app built using a Livepeer component which streams video from a livepeer node.

Don’t want to hack on livepeer all weekend? Play hard to get. We’re into it.
Complete this 20 minute mini-challenge - run a live stream from a livepeer node and earn 25 LPT. It’s a great place to start learning how livepeer works if you’re deciding if you want to hack on it this weekend

if I am not a part of ETHBerlin does it mean I can't contribute??

[RaffiSapire]

You can contribute of course, but this prize ease specific to the hackathon. You can do it anyways and share what you accomplished for a community grant (not that amount, depends on what you build) or you can check out our issues in our repos and pick something up there Raffi
