Scribe includes two implementations of this interface: + * `scribe-hub` - an electrum server for thin-wallet clients (such as lbry-sdk), provides an api for clients to resolve and search claims published to the LBRY blockchain. + * `scribe-elastic-sync` - a utility to maintain an elasticsearch database of metadata for claims in the LBRY blockchain + +Other features and overview of scribe: * Uses Python 3.7-3.9 (3.10 probably works but hasn't yet been tested) * Protobuf schema for encoding and decoding metadata stored on the blockchain ([scribe.schema](https://github.com/lbryio/scribe/tree/master/scribe/schema)). * Blockchain processor that maintains an up to date rocksdb database ([scribe.blockchain.service](https://github.com/lbryio/scribe/tree/master/scribe/blockchain/service.py))
