      <p>While blockchain is the innovation that makes LBRY possible, the Data Network is the layer that actually makes the blockchain <em>useful</em>.</p>
      <p>The primary component for this level is <a href="https://github.com/lbryio/lbry">lbry</a>, a daemon that:</p>

      <ul>
        <li>Interprets and validates metadata in the LBRY blockchain via [lbryschema].</li>
        <li>Accesses and distributes the data referenced by metadata in the LBRY blockchain via a peer-to-peer network.</li>
        <li>Provides wallet functionality via an [[SPV]] wallet ([torba]).</li>
        <li>Facilitates building applications by being easily bundable and providing a simple, clean <a href="https://lbry.io/api">API</a> for the LBRY protocol.</li>
      </ul>
      <p>Unless choosing to re-implement aspects of the LBRY protocol by hand, most applications that interact with the LBRY network will bundle lbry.</p>
