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.

The LBRY blockchain contains two parallel [[Merkle Tree]]s, one for transactions (ala Bitcoin) and one for storing LBRY URLs and metadata.

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>
|
||||
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.
