Protocol parameters

Governance-controlled values that shape orchestrator and delegator behavior — verified on-chain, with the exact getters to re-check them.

These values are governance-controlled. They can change without a docs release if governance updates them on-chain.

Last verified: 1 July 2026, read directly from the contracts on Arbitrum One (eth_call via arb1.arbitrum.io/rpc, round 4253). Anything can have changed since — the getters below let you re-check in seconds.

Staking & rewards

Parameter	Verified value	Getter	Why it matters
Unbonding period	7 rounds	BondingManager.unbondingPeriod()	Full exit is delayed this long after you unbond
Active set size	100 orchestrators	BondingManager.getTranscoderPoolMaxSize()	Only the top 100 by stake earn rewards and receive jobs
Treasury reward cut	0% — paused (see below)	BondingManager.treasuryRewardCutRate()	When active, reduces the issuance shared by orchestrators + delegators
Treasury balance ceiling	750,000 LPT	BondingManager.treasuryBalanceCeiling()	Contributions pause when the treasury reaches this balance
Target bonding rate	50%	Minter.targetBondingRate()	Inflation adjusts around this target
Inflation adjustment step	500 (per round, parts-per-billion)	Minter.inflationChange()	How fast inflation moves toward the target
Current inflation	560,500 parts-per-billion per round (~0.056%/round)	Minter.inflation()	Changes every round — always read live
Round length	6,377 L1 blocks (~21.3 hours)	RoundsManager.roundLength()	The protocol’s clock; “a round ≈ a day” is shorthand

The treasury cut is currently paused. LIP-92 set a 10% treasury reward cut with a balance ceiling; the ceiling has been reached, so both treasuryRewardCutRate() and nextRoundTreasuryRewardCutRate() currently read 0. Older docs (including Livepeer’s own) still say “10%” — treat that as the design, not the live state. Governance can resume contributions.

Governance thresholds

Parameter	Verified value	Getter
Proposal threshold	100 LPT bonded	LivepeerGovernor.proposalThreshold()
Quorum	33.33% of voting power	LivepeerGovernor.quorumNumerator() / quorumDenominator() (333300 / 1000000)
Voting delay	1 round	LivepeerGovernor.votingDelay()
Voting period	10 rounds (~9 days)	LivepeerGovernor.votingPeriod()
Timelock minimum delay	0	Treasury.getMinDelay()

Some public Livepeer guides describe a “30-round (~3.75 days)” voting window. The chain says otherwise: votingPeriod() returns 10, and at ~21.3h per round that’s roughly nine days. The same window applies to both protocol and treasury proposals.

Verify these yourself

Every value above is one eth_call away — no tooling beyond curl required. Example, reading the voting period:

# votingPeriod() on LivepeerGovernor — selector 0x02a251a3
curl -s -X POST -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"jsonrpc":"2.0","method":"eth_call","params":[{"to":"0xcFE4E2879B786C3aa075813F0E364bb5acCb6aa0","data":"0x02a251a3"},"latest"],"id":1}' \

# → 0x...0a = 10 rounds
