What is AR
Arweave (AR) is a decentralized network for permanent data storage built on a pay-once-store-forever endowment model. It uses a blockweave structure and Succinct Proofs of Random Access consensus. The AR token pays for upload fees and rewards miners who replicate data over time. The network hosts web archives (including Wayback Machine snapshots), NFT metadata, and dApp frontends. See CoinGecko for full details: https://www.coingecko.com/en/coins/arweave
Known risks
- ⚠Endowment economics rely on long-term storage cost decline; if it stalls, miner payouts may fall short
- ⚠Immutable data raises legal exposure (DMCA, GDPR, illegal content takedown demands)
- ⚠Mining and storage concentrated among a small number of operators
- ⚠Competition from Filecoin, Storj and centralized solutions like S3
