Description
LBRY is a decentralized content sharing and publishing protocol that utilizes blockchain technology to establish an open, fair, and efficient digital marketplace. It empowers creators to upload and distribute various media types, including videos, music, and documents, free from censorship or a central controlling entity. The protocol enables creators to set prices for their content or offer it for free, earning cryptocurrency (LBC) through user tips, purchases, and network rewards. This model gives creators greater control over their work and fosters a direct relationship with their audience. The most prominent application for accessing the LBRY network is Odysee.com, a video-sharing platform. The company LBRY Inc. developed the protocol and provides services for interaction, but it does not own or control the protocol itself or the content published on it.Grant Funding
