## Discord

The Livepeer Discord is the primary real-time community for builders and network participants.

**Invite:** [discord.gg/Livepeer](https://discord.gg/livepeer)

<AccordionGroup>
  <Accordion title="BUILDERS section">
    **`#lounge`** is the main channel for developers. Ask questions about the API, SDKs, stream configuration, video assets, and general development. This is the most active support channel for application builders.

    **`#ai-research`** is dedicated to Livepeer's AI inference capabilities. Ask about AI pipelines, ComfyUI workflows, ComfyStream, pipeline configuration, and GPU requirements.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="NETWORK section">
    **`#delegating`** covers questions about delegating LPT, staking rewards, choosing an Orchestrator, and understanding delegation mechanics.

    **`#orchestrating`** covers Orchestrator and transcoder operation, including go-livepeer configuration, AI model management, and hardware.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="PROTOCOL section">
    **`#governance`** is for discussions around Livepeer Improvement Proposals (LIPs), governance votes on the Explorer, and protocol-level decisions.
  </Accordion>
</AccordionGroup>

<Note>
  Discord is best for real-time, conversational questions. For questions that deserve a permanent, searchable answer, the Forum is a better home.
</Note>

## Forum

The [Livepeer Forum](https://forum.livepeer.org) is the permanent record for technical discussions, governance proposals, and SPE reporting.

**Key categories:**

* **AI Research** for AI pipeline questions, model support, and inference debugging
* **Builder** for application development questions
* **Treasury** for SPE proposals, RFPs, and retroactive grants
* **Protocol** for protocol-level discussions and LIPs

Forum posts are indexed by search engines and remain discoverable long-term. Use the forum for questions that would benefit other developers finding the same issue later.

## Security vulnerabilities

Report smart contract vulnerabilities through the [Immunefi bug bounty programme](https://immunefi.com/bug-bounty/livepeer/information/). Do not report security issues in public GitHub issues. See [bug bounties](/v2/developers/resources/reference/apis) for programme scope and reward tiers.

For non-contract security concerns (exposed keys, infrastructure vulnerabilities), contact the team via Discord DM to a Foundation member or email `security@livepeer.org`.

The [job debugging](/v2/developers/guides/observability-and-debugging/job-debugging) page covers the specific error diagnosis flow for failed AI and video jobs.
