While the blockchain is the innovation that makes LBRY possible, the Data Network is the layer that actually makes the blockchain useful.

At this level:

  • [Metadata](/spec#metadata] stored in the blockchain is interpreted and validated.
  • Data referenced by metadata is accessed and distributed via a peer-to-peer network.
  • Identities are created, signed, and validated.

Data network operations are provided by the lbrysdk. This SDK also provides local wallet functionality and a set of APIs to facilitate building applications.

Additional Resources

  • The Specification contains a comprehensive specification of data network operations.
  • Resources has further documentation on the LBRY SDK, including its APIs.
  • Build teaches you how to create your own app.
  • Contribute guides you on how to improve the protocol itself.
