The protocol consists of:

Discovery nodes that index the Audius content ledger and provide an easily query-able interface for retrieving metadata;

Content nodes to host content and permission access to content on behalf of artists;

Content ledger as a single source of truth for all data accessible within the Audius protocol, anchoring references to content hosted by content nodes.
