About Arweave

Arweave is a decentralized storage protocol built on blockchain technology. It enables users to securely and permanently store documents and applications across a network that connects individuals with extra hard drive space.

Users can access the content hosted on Arweave, which uses its native cryptocurrency, AR, with a capped supply of 66 million AR tokens. The protocol's core consists of a unique structure called a blockweave and a long-term storage fund. Arweave employs a novel mining process involving the creation and validation of Succinct Proofs of Random Access during block production, where miners (data providers) earn AR rewards for storing and replicating data.
