Arweave will never use a fee market for storage.

This will be an incredible boon for adoption over time, but surprisingly few realize this so far.

Here's how it works: Deep tech 🐘🧵👇 First, to understand why Arweave's permanent storage scales we need to understand why contract-based storage does not.

📣 Major announcement: @Meta is now using Arweave to permanently store digital collectables from @instagram.

Instagram users are now able to issue digital collectables for their posts, stored on Arweave.

Some thoughts 👇 Image 2/ Arweave was born ~5 years ago to serve as the permanent memory layer for humanity.

Our community works to connect people over time, providing a right to be remembered.

@Meta's mission is to bring the world closer together.

Connecting over time 🤝 Connecting over space

Meet now.arweave.dev

A new homepage for the permaweb.

It is a decentralized Reddit but upvotes get rewards, and every piece of content has a futures market built-in.

tl;dr? A completely tradeable web has given rise to a meme market.

Trade culture futures.

More 👇 The web is built of innumerable revenue streams. From YouTube creators getting paid for ads, to Bandcamp artists getting paid for downloads.

But these revenue streams are 'locked in': creators cannot access their future value ahead of time.

It's time to kill this inefficiency.

Today the Arweave ecosystem is launching 6 new services and protocols which unlock an entirely new angle of the permaweb:

The web of value.

WTF is it? Let's jump down the rabbithole 🧵 The web of value starts with a single unit: the atomic asset.

Every piece of data stored on Arweave can have arbitrary metadata and a token contract _embedded_ inside it.

Transmit the ID => transmit the data, ownership information, license, authorship and provenance records...

Trying to crystalize an idea I can't seem to shake. A 🧵:

The first sovereign machine with above-human intellect was born a decade ago, and we didn't notice.

/1 In sci-fi, AI was a necessary component of sovereign machine intelligence.

We thought that sovereign machines would need their own synthetic brains. The AI field set about building them.

In reality, blockchain networks simply co-opted our brains to work for them instead. /2

This is 1 of 10,000 files (metadata for @SollamasNFT on @solana) written to the Arweave in a single base layer TX 🤯.

It cost $0.37 and synced atomically, in just a few minutes.

How? A deep dive 🧵 on storage scalability 👇 So how can the network support this? 🤔

As a truly permanent storage system, Arweave has a critical property that it can employ to enable massive scalability: Nothing changes once written, so it doesn't have to keep track of any individual 'state' per transaction. 2/11

This is a core question driving many of the underlying issues in society at the moment.

So what is the answer? In truth, this effect arises from a deficiency in the HTTP protocol. 👇 /1 Cyberspace was always meant to be completely detached from the power politics of physical space.

John Perry Barlow knew this in 1996 when he articulated the 'Declaration of Independence of Cyberspace':

Arweave is a permanent, decentralised archive of history and knowledge.

Some network infrastructure in China, as well as the Arweave core developers, were under attack last month.

Signs point to these attacks originating from the Chinese government. /1

fortune.com/2020/11/05/chi… Despite this, the Arweave network continues to operate without disruption.

As the founders of Arweave, we have one simple reminder to those responsible: you cannot take down a decentralised network. /2
