Arweave is a new blockchain storage platform, which aims to overcome the problems of scalability, data availability and cost in blockchain data storage. This is also the difference between arweave and most blockchain storage solutions. Arweave aims to become "a browsable home network of the Internet". Arweave is a distributed storage network based on blockweave technology, in which each block is linked to two previous blocks. Arweave is not a chain in the strict sense, but a more complex graphic structure, called blockweave. Arweave is developing a basic network that hosts "permaweb". This is a permanent, distributed network with many community driven applications and platforms. AR is the native functional token of arweave, with the following use cases: miner reward: miners in the network obtain ar tokens for mining new blocks, which requires them to store and provide data. A wallet owner may be both a user and a miner. Transaction fees: users who wish to trade on the block will have to pay transaction fees in AR tokens. The protocol consists of the following main components: permaweb: a collection of interconnected documents and applications in which all content is permanent. The browser will have access to all data stored on the network. Because the arweave network itself is built on HTTP. Benefit sharing community: arweave is developing an ecosystem to empower founders, contributors and users. Founders can connect with the arweave community and issue profit sharing tokens to raise funds and interact with the community. Content audit: nodes are not forced to store any data. Therefore, storage is guaranteed only at the probability and network levels, allowing miners to implement content policies by selecting blocks and transactions they want to store.
