LBRY (pronounced "library") is a blockchain-based file-sharing and payment network that is primarily used for social networks and video platforms.
The blockchain was managed by LBRY, Inc. from 2015 until 2023, when the company closed after losing a lawsuit from the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission which found that LBRY had sold unregistered securities. In September 2020, the video hosting platform Odysee was created as part of the LBRY project. It was split into a separate company on October 1, 2021. LBRY, Inc.'s CEO was American libertarian political activist Jeremy Kauffman. ==History== The LBRY protocol is a decentralized file-sharing and payment network built using blockchain and BitTorrent technology. It allows anyone to create an account and register content that cannot be deleted by the company. LBRY uses BitTorrent technology to serve content without relying on their own servers by using peer-to-peer file-sharing. Creators can record video content to the LBRY blockchain, as well as other digital content including music, images, podcasts, and e-books. The LBRY projects are open source.
