Arweave
Arweave is a blockchain-based platform for permanent data storage. Unlike traditional cloud services that require monthly payments and risk data loss, Arweave uses a one-time payment in AR tokens to store files forever. Once uploaded, data becomes part of the network’s permaweb, ensuring it remains accessible and censorship-resistant indefinitely.

Technology & Use Case
Arweave uses an innovative structure called the blockweave, where each new block links to both the previous block and a randomly selected past block. This enables a consensus mechanism called Proof-of-Access, which incentivizes miners to store historical data. The result is a decentralized, cost-effective network for storing files permanently through a one-time upfront payment. For pricing go to: https://ar-fees.arweave.net/?utm_source=chatgpt.com.
Origins & Team
The project began under the name Archain in 2017 and rebranded to Arweave before its mainnet launch in June 2018. It was founded by Sam Williams and William Jones, who envisioned a blockchain that preserves information forever. The Arweave Foundation now oversees its community-led development.
Ecosystem & Partnerships
Arweave powers the permaweb, a platform hosting permanent websites, archival content, and decentralized applications. It's used in areas like historical archiving, NFT metadata storage, and humanitarian data preservation. The network supports profit-sharing tokens—where developers receive a share of storage fees—and has expanded via initiatives like the AO computing layer introduced in 2025.
