Overview
Arweave is a decentralized storage network that enables permanent and immutable data storage. It operates like Bitcoin, but for data, creating a permanent web within an open ledger. The technology allows users and developers to store data, web applications, and other digital assets indefinitely. Arweave’s core technology centers around a 'blockweave,' a variation of blockchain technology. It provides a sustainable economic model for long-term data preservation by charging a one-time fee for storage. This fee funds ongoing storage costs through endowment-like mechanisms. Arweave’s target users include archivists, researchers, developers, and anyone seeking decentralized, permanent data storage solutions.
