This document describes the implementation detail of the ClaimTrie in LBRY. The ClaimTrie is the data structure which LBRY uses to store claims to names. It uses a [Trie](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trie) to efficiently store all claimed names, which can then be hashed the same way a [Merkle Tree](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Merkle_tree) is hashed. The root hash of the ClaimTrie is stored in the blockheader of each LBRY block, enabling nodes in the LBRY network to efficiently and securely validate the state of the ClaimTrie.

Bids to claim a name must win out against other claims for the same name before they can be inserted into the ClaimTrie. The short summary is that the bid with the most LBRY credits assigned to it will win the right to claim a name, but the implementation detail is more involved and, this is what we aim to cover in this document.

You can unlock tips across all your published content and channels with a single transaction by clicking the unlock button from the **View More** section of your wallet. For creators with large amounts of tips, this may take a few minutes to process. The balance may not be spendable until a block confirmation occurs. Once unlocked, we encourage you to re-support your channel or recent content, as having an available balance means your credits aren't being put to good use!
