The Arweave project is an innovative entrant into the cryptocurrency market with a focus on making data storage permanent. According to Arweave’s blog, it aims to develop a collectively owned hard drive that never forgets. This is facilitated by a new type of blockchain-comparable system called the “blockweave.” Unlike traditional blockchains where each block is linked to the one prior in chronological order, each block in the blockweave is linked to the block immediately prior and a random previous one. The blockweave then implements a proof-of-access mechanism. This combination allows for far greater data storage on the network and helps Arweave to deliver its end goal – the “permaweb.” The permaweb is a decentralized, unchangeable and permanent Internet that can be browsed through and contributed to indefinitely. The platform is intended to counteract the issues of censorship, security and impermanence that plague the Internet of Things. AR is the native token to the Arweave ecosystem. The tokens are used to interact and store files on the permaweb as well as incentivize miners to contribute data to the blockweave.
