Arweave

What is Arweave?

Arweave is a software that seeks to store files permanently across a distributed network of computers, aiming to build a digital archive that persists in perpetuity. It is a decentralized storage-as-a-service platform that provides permanent, immutable, and censorship-resistant data storage at an affordable one-time fee. Arweave's technology enables the creation of a 'permaweb,' a secondary layer where stored data can be accessed in a human-readable manner, such as through web browsers.

Arweave goals

The purpose of Arweave is to provide permanent, decentralized, and censorship-resistant data storage. The project aims to solve the problem of data storage and persistence, allowing users to store data permanently through crypto-economic incentives. Potential use cases and applications of the technology include the preservation of humanity's most important data and the hosting of truly decentralized and provably neutral web apps.
