About Pools
Joining a community-run pool is a low-lift way to get started with the Livepeer network.
Pools are run by experienced operators who manage the day-to-day operations of the network.
Pools are not official Livepeer infrastructure. They are community-run and vary in terms of pricing, rewards, and management. Always research and choose a pool that best fits your needs.
Pool operators handle tasks such as staking, delegating, and managing the orchestrator node, so you don’t need to have LPT or deal with on-chain actions.
The trade-off is that you have less control over pricing, routing, and delegation decisions, and the revenue is shared with the pool operator.
