LBRY SDK is a Python implementation of the LBRY decentralized peer-to-peer protocol for publishing, discovering, and monetizing digital content, using the LBRY blockchain as a namespace and metadata database. It ships a daemon with a JSON-RPC API, a Kademlia DHT, a blob exchange protocol, and a wallet, enabling developers to build decentralized applications on the LBRY network.
Use cases
- build a decentralized content publishing app
- run a peer-to-peer file sharing network node
- monetize digital content with cryptocurrency payments
- query blockchain metadata for content claims
- host and serve files over a DHT-based network
- integrate LBRY wallet and payments into an app
When to choose
- you want to build apps on a censorship-resistant, decentralized content network
- you need a full-featured SDK with DHT, wallet, and JSON-RPC daemon
- you want blockchain-backed content naming and monetization
When to avoid
- you need a simple centralized file host or CDN
- you want an actively developed project with frequent releases
- you need a general-purpose blockchain framework unrelated to content publishing
