About LBRY Credits

LBRY is a pioneering digital marketplace that is governed by its participants rather than a centralized corporation or third party. It stands out as the most open, fair, and efficient platform for digital goods, designed with incentives to make it as comprehensive as possible. At its core, LBRY simply links a unique name to a piece of digital content such as a movie, book, or game. This concept is similar to how the domain name system works, which you likely use to access this content. Unlike proprietary services, LBRY operates as a protocol—a way of doing things much like HTTP or DNS—making it accessible to anyone or any company without requiring special permissions, and enabling communication across a shared internet language.
