Users pre-pay for future storage costs, so the data must be available for long-term
Increased adoption = exponential growth of data (today it’s over 8.5 TB) Miner centralization is a real problem, but miners don’t need to store the entire “Weave”

Their current pricing mechanism adjusts AR (their native token)/Mb cost during volatile price swings, w/o heavy reliance on external oracles
