# Network Overview

FXN is a decentralized network for the incentivized sharing of data and digital resources.

{% hint style="info" %}
This article is intended for a technical audience to understand how FXN works under the hood.

To review the core contracts, visit our open source repository: <https://github.com/Oz-Networks/fxn-protocol-sdk>
{% endhint %}

The protocol is composed of a **Collector Factory**, designed to enable the creation of modular data streaming tools called Collectors, a **Subscription Manager**, designed to store subscriptions to each Collector's data stream, and a **Reputation Manager** to represent the quality of data provided by each collector.
