1. Purpose

Livepeer has acute pain points around current capital. On chain liquidity is low, leaking value of LPT holders through high slippage. Inflation is high against external benchmarks, which acts as a barrier to new participants. The treasury is not accumulating new LPT and the current treasury is not actively deployed and so does not generate any yield. We need to address all of this in a holistic way now, as actions in one area can have unintended second-order consequences if not managed carefully.

2. Outcome

Overview:

Overall success is creating a working group that collaborates to assess the ecosystem holistically, enabling clear decision-making and actively managing ecosystem capital through more strategic deployment.

Key Metrics To Measure The Outcome Against:

  • Improvements in liquidity depth and market efficiency.

  • Reduction of treasury concentration risk and clearer capital allocation strategy.

  • Measurable progress toward sustainable inflation and data-driven utility models.

3. Requirements

  • Establish a Capital Management working group with clear mandate and decision structure.

  • Propose a plan to increase DEX liquidity for key LPT pairs on Arbitrum.

  • Propose adjustments to inflation parameters to support long-term network health.

  • Propose whether to maintain or modify the treasury cap and outline a strategy for accumulating LPT.

  • Implement an active capital management approach that funds ecosystem operations and reduces risk.
