📢 Exciting news from the Arweave in Asia event today!

Evolution. Decentralization. Longevity!

Let's go 👇

2/ First, we announced the launch of the Digital History Association (@dh_association).

DHA is a Swiss non-profit association focused on Arweave protocol research & development. 🧪🔬

Some of the @ArweaveTeam protocol and tooling development team will now come under DHA.

3/ The first order of business for @dh_association? 🤔

📣 Releasing the Arweave 2.6 spec and testnet 🎉

Arweave 2.6 radically decreases energy usage in the network, increasing mining efficiency: more data, less power.
