<p>The LBRY blockchain is a public, proof-of-work of work blockchain consensus. It is the foundation of the protocol stack.</p> <p>LBRY uses a public, proof-of-work blockchain that is very similar to Bitcoin. The blockchain is the foundation of the protocol stack.</p>
<p>The most salient feature of the LBRY blockchain is the association of a normalized character string with up to 8KB of metadata. This string of characters forms a LBRY URL, e.g. <a class="__plain" href="/tour?url=hellolbry"><code>lbry://hellolbry</code></a></p> <p>The most salient feature of the LBRY blockchain is the association of a string of characters (a "name") with a structured set of metadata. This name can be accessed as a LBRY URL, e.g. <a class="__plain" href="/tour?url=hellolbry"><code>lbry://hellolbry</code></a></p>
<p>The LBRY blockchain contains two parallel [[Merkle Tree]]s, one for transactions (ala Bitcoin) and one for storing LBRY URLs and metadata. This allows LBRY URLs to be trustfully resolved even without a full copy of the blockchain.</p> <p>The LBRY blockchain stores URLs and metadata in a Merkle tree. This allows LBRY URLs to be trustfully resolved even without a full copy of the blockchain.</p>
<p>Conventionally, this metadata contains information about the content, such as the title and creator, the price (if any), and a unique signature allowing the actual content to be fetched from the data network, the next level in the LBRY stack.</p> <p>The metadata contains information about the content, such as the title, creator, price (if any), and a unique signature allowing the actual content to be fetched from the data network, the next level in the LBRY stack.</p>
