### Blob ### Blob
A Binary Large Object (BLOB) is a collection of binary data stored as a single entity in a database management system. When files are uploaded to the LBRY peer to peer network, they are broken down into 2MB encrypted blobs which are then shared to other peers. A [[manifest]] blob is also created to index the multiple content blobs that were created from the file. A [[stream]] is the collection of all these blobs particlar to one publised file.
