Accept Livepeer (LPT) payments
LPT is the token of Livepeer, an open network for video transcoding and AI video work. easyway accepts LPT as an ERC-20 on Ethereum with the same checkout and API as ETH and the stablecoins. The twist with LPT: the Livepeer protocol itself moved to Arbitrum in 2022, so the token exists on two chains. Below: which one counts, why, and the numbers.
Token, network and limits
| Token | Network | Contract | Confirmations | Min. withdrawal | Withdrawal fee |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| LPT (Livepeer) | Ethereum · ERC-20 | 0x58b6A8A3302369DAEc383334672404Ee733aB239 | 12 | 0.45 LPT | 1.6 LPT (flat) |
Livepeer's own contract-address docs list this as LivepeerToken (L1), the original LPT from 2018, and CoinGecko and Trust Wallet's token list give the same address. It is a plain ERC-20 with 18 decimals, not an upgradeable proxy, and it takes no fee on a transfer, so the amount the customer sends is the amount that arrives.
Ethereum LPT vs Arbitrum LPT
Since Livepeer's 2022 "Confluence" migration, staking, rewards and governance run on Arbitrum One, where LPT is a separate ERC-20. The two are connected by Livepeer's bridge, but to a payment checkout they are different tokens. An easyway deposit address is the same on every EVM chain, so a wallet set to Arbitrum will accept the invoice address and send the Arbitrum token without a warning:
| What the customer holds | Contract | Credited? |
|---|---|---|
| LPT on Ethereum (ERC-20) | 0x58b6A8A3302369DAEc383334672404Ee733aB239 | Yes |
| LPT on Arbitrum One | 0x289ba1701C2F088cf0faf8B3705246331cB8A839 | No |
| LPT bonded to an orchestrator | Stake inside Livepeer's contracts on Arbitrum | No — unbond and bridge first |
LPT sent on Arbitrum stays at that chain's copy of the deposit address and the invoice stays open. Ask customers to pick LPT on Ethereum (ERC-20). Delegators and orchestrators usually hold their LPT on Arbitrum; for them, unbonding, withdrawing and bridging to Ethereum comes first, and that is their step, not the checkout's. When paying from an exchange, the withdrawal form decides the network; the guide to paying from an exchange shows where.
Amounts and fees
On a USD invoice the LPT amount is locked from the exchange rate when the customer selects the coin, and the checkout shows the exact amount to send. Transfers under 0.01 LPT are skipped as dust; several larger ones add up, and the invoice is paid after 12 confirmations, usually a few minutes. Short or late payments follow the underpaid and late payments guide.
LPT is not a stablecoin: the payment is credited and later withdrawn in LPT, so later price moves are yours. The platform fee is a flat 0.5% of each confirmed payment: 100 LPT received leaves 99.5 LPT on your balance. A withdrawal costs a fixed 1.6 LPT, which covers the Ethereum gas of one token transfer, so withdraw in larger batches rather than many small ones. Every coin's numbers are on the pricing page.
Integrating
Nothing is LPT-specific: create an invoice with the API (or a payment link if you don't write code), send the customer to the hosted checkout and deliver when the signed invoice.paid webhook arrives. To price an invoice in LPT itself, pass currency = "LPT_ERC20"; to show only LPT at checkout, pass allowed_assets with "LPT_ERC20" (see limiting the checkout to some coins). Runnable examples are in the quickstart.
Common questions
Is easyway connected to Livepeer? No. easyway is independent; it only receives the LPT token on Ethereum as a payment for your own goods or services, and it does not stake, delegate or run an orchestrator.
Where is the LPT kept after a payment? On your easyway balance until you withdraw it. Live withdrawals only go to addresses you whitelisted with two-factor authentication; see security. Another token whose project lives mostly on Arbitrum but is accepted on Ethereum is Arbitrum (ARB); compute-network tokens include Render (RENDER) and The Graph (GRT).
