# Which path is yours?

> Pick the role that matches what you have — GPUs or LPT — and the right starting page.

There are two ways to participate on the supply side of Livepeer. They are independent: you can do
either, both, or move between them over time.

## I have GPUs → Orchestrator

You run hardware and want it to earn. As an orchestrator you install `go-livepeer`, advertise what
your GPU can do, and the network sends you video and AI jobs. You earn **ETH** for completed work
and **LPT** for participating in the protocol each round.

    What an orchestrator is and how it fits into the network.

  <Card title="Run your first node" icon="rocket" href="/network/tutorials/run-your-first-orchestrator">
    Go from a bare machine to a working mainnet orchestrator.
  </Card>
</CardGroup>

**You'll want:** an NVIDIA GPU, a Linux machine with a public IP, some ETH and LPT on Arbitrum One,
and a willingness to keep a server online.

## I have LPT → Delegator

You hold LPT and want it to work without running infrastructure. As a delegator you **bond** your
LPT to an orchestrator you trust. Your tokens stay in your control — they are never handed to the
operator — and you share in that orchestrator's rewards.

  <Card title="Delegate your first LPT" icon="hand-holding-dollar" href="/network/tutorials/delegate-your-first-lpt">
    Go from LPT in your wallet to a confirmed delegation.
  </Card>
</CardGroup>

**You'll want:** LPT on **Arbitrum One**, a small amount of ETH on Arbitrum for gas, and a wallet
you can connect to the [Livepeer Explorer](https://explorer.livepeer.org).

## I want to build an app → Developer (coming soon)

You want to *use* the network's compute — send video or AI jobs from your application — rather than
supply it. That's the **demand side**, and its docs aren't here yet: a developer platform, and a
Build section of this site, are on the way.

Until then, the best place to ask what's possible today is the
[Livepeer Discord](https://discord.gg/livepeer). If you're curious how demand reaches the network in
the meantime, [How the network works](/network/explanation/how-the-network-works) shows the full
path from application to GPU.

## Not sure yet?

Both roles share the same economics — read [Economics](/network/explanation/economics) to see how ETH fees
and LPT inflation are split between orchestrators and their delegators. That one page explains why
each side does what it does.
