An open alternative to Mux, Cloudflare Stream and the big-cloud transcoders. You upload a video and pay per source-minute in $PYRA. Independent operators do the encoding, competing on price and quality.
The protocol runs end to end on Base Sepolia today, so operators and customers can put the whole job-to-settlement path through its paces before mainnet. Tokens here are test tokens and carry no value. There is no presale and no private sale: $PYRA reaches the market through a public DEX pool, seeded from the treasury and locked, and everyone buys at the same price from the same moment. Operators who help battle-test the network are eligible for mainnet PYRA at launch.
$PYRA: 10B fixed supply on Base, minting renounced at genesis. Read the eligibility and risk disclosure before participating.
Why now
The world has more compute sitting idle than it has running. Every gaming rig, every mining rig, every server in a colo at 2am. Lampyra turns that excess into income, and prices video transcoding at what the silicon actually costs to run.
Built on Base because fast finality and low, predictable gas make 4-hour settlement cycles worth running at sub-penny per source-minute. Couldn't have done this 2 years ago.
