Odysee is an American decentralized video hosting platform built on the LBRY blockchain.[1][2][3] It positions itself as an alternative to mainstream services like YouTube with a focus on free speech and decentralization.[4]

The platform enables users to upload, share, and monetize videos through crypto currency, while maintaining content persistence through a peer-to-peer network.[5]
