Tag: Arweave

The Arweave project is a decentralized data storage solution operating with blockweave technology and the native Arweave token (AR). Users of the network can pay a one-off endowment to use and provide permanent and immutable data storage. Anyone can contribute to the network by renting out unused storage space on their computer. Furthermore, the Arweave project uses the novel Succinct Proofs of Random Access (SPoRA) consensus mechanism to maintain stability and security throughout the network. Alongside this is the ‘permaweb’. The permaweb is a community-owned network that operates just like the traditional web. However, once a user adds data to the permaweb, it cannot be altered or removed, even by the creator.
