### 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.

### Manifest
A blob that contains information about all the other blobs in its stream (the content blobs), in JSON format. Sometimes referred to as the "Stream Descriptor (SD) Blob," this blob lists each of the other blobs in the stream, in order, along with the filename for the content, and the cryptographic key needed to decode the content blobs (the stream key).
