About ArweaveArweave Arweave is a new data storage protocol on a blockchain like structure called the blockweave. It’s built on a novel proof-of-access consensus mechanism that makes truly permanent, low-cost data storage available for the first time.
Unlike other blockchains we’ve created a truly scalable infrastructure to be the backbone for the data economy because we’re able to reach up to 5000 tp/s, and store data for the long-term at a fraction of the cost of Filecoin, Siacoin, and Storj.
You can read more about how we achieve these features here on our ‘explain like I’m five’ Medium blog post.
You can read all about Arweave in our main announcement thread, or in our lightpaper. Feel free to drop us an email here if you have any questions about the project!
