Arweave

Arweave (AR)

What is Arweave?

Arweave targets long-lived data storage with a proof-of-access mining model: miners store historical blocks and are incentivized to keep rare chunks available, while users pay an up-front storage endowment meant to fund rewards over decades—“pay once, store a long time” in principle (verify economics with current fee calculators).

It pairs naturally with permaweb apps—static sites, NFT metadata mirrors, archives—where censorship resistance matters. AR pays for storage and secures the weave; retrieval performance and pinning incentives differ from Filecoin’s contract market framing.

“Forever” is aspirational: incentives, hardware costs, and client usage must sustain the network. Compare to centralized object storage on price/SLA before betting the farm on permanence claims.
