Off-Chain Computation and Decentralized Video Streaming

Off-chain computation in blockchain technology and decentralized video streaming networks like Live Peer are critical for handling complex computations that cannot fit onto the Ethereum blockchain due to size and complexity. By utilizing off-chain computation, projects like Live Peer can achieve decentralized and trustless processing while efficiently managing resources like video transcoding. The need for off-chain computation arises from the limitations of on-chain processing, which can be expensive and inefficient for computationally intensive tasks such as video transcoding.
