About AR
Arweave (AR) is a decentralized storage network that aims to provide permanent, low-cost, and tamper-proof data storage on the blockchain. Leveraging a unique Proof of Access (PoA) consensus mechanism, Arweave allows data to be stored indefinitely by incentivizing miners to keep data available. Data on Arweave is stored in a way that enables quick retrieval and easy access, making it ideal for archival purposes, permanent web pages, and decentralized applications. The AR token is used to pay for storage fees on the network, enabling users to secure data storage for decades or even indefinitely.
