## Overview

Streamplace is the video layer for decentralized social networks. It's a self-hostable, open-source platform that brings high-quality livestreaming, clips, and video uploads to the **AT Protocol** — the same protocol powering Bluesky — and is designed around user sovereignty and content authenticity.

It powers partner platforms like Skylight Social, a TikTok-style app on the AT Protocol.

## What you can build

- **Live video for AT Protocol social apps** — add streaming, clips, and uploads to any Bluesky-compatible client
- **Sovereign creator tools** — every video is cryptographically signed by its creator and respects consent preferences, built on the same public-key infrastructure as decentralized social
- **Federated video experiences** — Streamplace nodes connect to any compatible social network to index and serve video content
- **Self-hosted streaming infrastructure** — run your own node and own your full pipeline

## Developer surface

- **Single-binary node software** — get a Streamplace node running with one command, no complex configuration or deep video expertise required
- **Open-source monorepo** — hybrid Go + TypeScript codebase, fully public on [GitHub](https://github.com/streamplace/streamplace)
- **Native client SDKs** — iOS, Android, and web apps for livestreaming, clips, and uploads
- **AT Protocol integration** — federate with the rest of the AT Protocol ecosystem out of the box

## Powered by Livepeer

Streamplace transcodes every livestream through the Livepeer network for decentralized, low-cost processing and global delivery. The result is open, sovereign video infrastructure that scales on community-operated GPUs instead of a centralized cloud.
