Irys Financing and Innovative Thoughts on Data Storage @irys_xyz Looking at Irys recently securing $10 million in Series A funding, I suddenly recalled my naive understanding of data storage when I first entered the industry. 1. Limitations of Traditional and Web3 Data Storage Back then, I thought data was just files stored on hard drives. It wasn't until I truly engaged with Web3 projects that I realized the value of data on the chain is far more than just "storage". Traditional blockchain data storage is outrageously expensive; storing a few GB of data on Ethereum could bankrupt you. While projects like Arweave solve the problem of permanent storage, the data is like dead assets locked in a safe—you can prove it exists, but you can't make it "come alive". 2. Irys's Innovation and Programmable Data Irys's approach opened my eyes: making data programmable. What does that mean? Imagine that every piece of data you store can carry a smart contract, automatically executing authorization, payments, and access control. Data is no longer static files but intelligent agents that can "think" and "act". This concept may sound abstract, but the scenarios are quite specific: AI training data can charge automatically, giving creators a share every time it's called. Trading strategies can be packaged and sold directly, with buyers paying each time they use it. User behavior data can have privacy levels set, with different permissions at different prices. 3. Irys's Actual Performance, Advantages, and Future Outlook What excites me even more is that Irys has already processed over 600 million data transactions, supporting 4 million daily active wallets. This is not just proof of concept; it's a real infrastructure in operation. The cost advantage is also evident—it's cheaper than traditional cloud storage and 6000 times faster than other Web3 storage solutions. The key is that the pricing model is anchored to physical storage costs rather than token market fluctuations, which is crucial for enterprise clients. What I am most optimistic about is its integration with AI. Everyone is talking about DeFAI now, but the data layer has always been a shortcoming. AI agents need memory, context, and verifiable data sources. Irys just happens to provide such a "memory layer"—transforming AI from a stateless execution machine into an intelligent agent that can learn and evolve. Of course, challenges are also apparent. A $30 trillion data market sounds huge, but to truly enable data creators to gain value, the entire ecosystem needs to cooperate. Moreover, competition with established projects like Arweave and Filecoin will be fierce. But I believe the direction is right. Data is becoming the new oil, and what Irys aims to do is build the refinery—not just store data, but enable data to generate value. In this era of deep integration between AI and blockchain, whoever can solve the problem of data programmability will seize the opportunity of the next decade.

Dive deeper into Arweave

As the popularity of blockchain soared due to its secure and immutable nature, Arweave seized the opportunity to create a platform that offers a unique approach to data storage. The project's innovative concept holds the promise of virtually limitless storage capabilities, opening up new possibilities for individuals and businesses alike.

What is Arweave

Arweave is a decentralized storage network that aims to revolutionize data storage by providing an indefinite storage solution. At the heart of Arweave's ecosystem lies the concept of the "permaweb," which represents a permanent and decentralized web infrastructure. Through the permaweb, Arweave hosts a multitude of community-driven applications and platforms.

The Arweave team

Arweave was founded by two PhD candidates at the University of Kent, Sam Williams and William Jones. Sam Williams brought his expertise in decentralized and distributed systems to the project, while William Jones specialized in neural networking and graph theory. Although Williams made the decision to leave his studies and dedicate himself fully to Arweave, Jones chose to complete his PhD before pursuing other ventures.

How does Arweave work

Arweave operates on a unique technology called Blockweave, which forms the foundation of its permaweb. Unlike traditional blockchain systems, Blockweave connects each block to two others: one that comes before it and another chosen randomly from earlier blocks. This design incentivizes miners to store more data by requiring them to access previous blocks in order to receive rewards.

Arweave’s native token: AR

Arweave's native token, AR, plays a crucial role within the Arweave network. The cryptocurrency was launched in late May 2020 with a maximum supply of 66 million AR tokens and a total supply of 63.19 million. The circulating supply currently stands at 33.39 million.

AR is readily available for trading on numerous decentralized exchanges (DEX), providing users with easy access to participate in the Arweave ecosystem. Additionally, AR is listed and actively traded on nearly 50 prominent centralized exchanges, including OKX. This broad availability and exchange support contribute to the liquidity and accessibility of AR, facilitating its use within the Arweave network and enabling users to engage with the platform's innovative decentralized storage solutions.

How to stake AR

One popular way to stake AR is through OKX Earn. OKX Earn offers a one percent APY with a flexible staking term. Through staking AR, you can earn passive rewards. You may also unstake AR at any time.

AR token use cases

AR token, the native cryptocurrency of the Arweave network, plays a crucial role in facilitating the storage and permanence of data. Unlike traditional Web2 storage platforms such as Google Cloud or Amazon Web Services that require recurring payments, Arweave operates on a one-time, up-front fee model.

By using AR tokens, users can securely store their data on the Arweave network, ensuring its permanence, privacy, and immutability. Once the data is stored, it remains safe and accessible indefinitely, making Arweave a unique platform for individuals and organizations seeking a decentralized and permanent storage option.

AR token distribution

AR’s distribution is as follows:

38.5 percent was sold from the Genesis Block supply.
2.9 percent was allocated to project advisors.
13 percent was set aside for the project team, with a fifth of this allocation being released annually over a period of five years.
19.1 percent was allotted for further development of the Arweave ecosystem.
26.5 percent was reserved for future financing of the project, with a fifth of this allocation being released annually over the course of five years.

Arweave and the future of online storage

With Arweave, users can securely store their data in a permanent and tamper-proof manner, ensuring its long-term integrity. This innovative approach to online storage eliminates the need for traditional Web2 solutions, such as recurring payments on centralized platforms. On top of that, with its focus on decentralization and immutability, Arweave is poised to transform the landscape of online storage and pave the way for a new era of data permanence and accessibility.

Consensus Mechanism

Arweave is present on the following networks: Arweave, Ethereum. Arweave employs a unique Proof of Access (PoA) consensus mechanism, which integrates a requirement for miners to provide cryptographic proof of access to historical data, known as a "recall block." This ensures that miners contribute to both data storage and network security by storing and verifying historical data. Core Components: 1. Proof of Access (PoA): Recall Block Verification: During mining, miners must retrieve and validate a randomly selected "recall block" from Arweave’s data history, proving they retain access to stored data. This process secures the network while emphasizing long-term data availability. Enhanced Proof of Work (PoW): PoA builds upon traditional PoW by requiring miners to demonstrate access to previously stored data, adding a storage-focused layer to network security and incentivizing distributed data retention. 2. Data-Centric Mining Incentives: Distributed Storage: The PoA design encourages miners to store a broad history of blocks, as possessing more recall blocks enhances their probability of successfully mining new blocks and earning rewards. The crypto-asset's Proof-of-Stake (PoS) consensus mechanism, introduced with The Merge in 2022, replaces mining with validator staking. Validators must stake at least 32 ETH every block a validator is randomly chosen to propose the next block. Once proposed the other validators verify the blocks integrity. The network operates on a slot and epoch system, where a new block is proposed every 12 seconds, and finalization occurs after two epochs (~12.8 minutes) using Casper-FFG. The Beacon Chain coordinates validators, while the fork-choice rule (LMD-GHOST) ensures the chain follows the heaviest accumulated validator votes. Validators earn rewards for proposing and verifying blocks, but face slashing for malicious behavior or inactivity. PoS aims to improve energy efficiency, security, and scalability, with future upgrades like Proto-Danksharding enhancing transaction efficiency.

Incentive Mechanisms and Applicable Fees

Arweave is present on the following networks: Arweave, Ethereum. Arweave’s economic model incentivizes miners to contribute to data storage through upfront storage fees and ongoing block rewards, supporting the network’s mission of providing permanent and accessible data storage. Incentive Mechanisms: 1. One-Time Storage Fees: Permanent Data Storage: Users pay a one-time, upfront fee in AR tokens, calculated based on data size and projected storage costs. This fee funds indefinite data storage on the network. Endowment Pool: A portion of each storage fee is allocated to an endowment pool, covering future storage costs as technology advances, ensuring sustainable, permanent data storage. 2. Mining Rewards: Block Rewards: Miners earn AR tokens for successfully mining blocks, incentivizing them to store historical data and maintain network integrity. Applicable Fees: 1. Data Storage Fees: Market-Based Cost: Storage fees in AR are set by data size and projected long-term costs, covering the initial and future costs of data permanence. The crypto-asset's PoS system secures transactions through validator incentives and economic penalties. Validators stake at least 32 ETH and earn rewards for proposing blocks, attesting to valid ones, and participating in sync committees. Rewards are paid in newly issued ETH and transaction fees. Under EIP-1559, transaction fees consist of a base fee, which is burned to reduce supply, and an optional priority fee (tip) paid to validators. Validators face slashing if they act maliciously and incur penalties for inactivity. This system aims to increase security by aligning incentives while making the crypto-asset's fee structure more predictable and deflationary during high network activity.

Energy consumption sources and methodologies

The energy consumption of this asset is aggregated across multiple components: For the calculation of energy consumptions, the so called 'bottom-up' approach is being used. The nodes are considered to be the central factor for the energy consumption of the network. These assumptions are made on the basis of empirical findings through the use of public information sites, open-source crawlers and crawlers developed in-house. The main determinants for estimating the hardware used within the network are the requirements for operating the client software. The energy consumption of the hardware devices was measured in certified test laboratories. When calculating the energy consumption, we used - if available - the Functionally Fungible Group Digital Token Identifier (FFG DTI) to determine all implementations of the asset of question in scope and we update the mappings regulary, based on data of the Digital Token Identifier Foundation. The information regarding the hardware used and the number of participants in the network is based on assumptions that are verified with best effort using empirical data. In general, participants are assumed to be largely economically rational. As a precautionary principle, we make assumptions on the conservative side when in doubt, i.e. making higher estimates for the adverse impacts. To determine the energy consumption of a token, the energy consumption of the network(s) ethereum is calculated first. For the energy consumption of the token, a fraction of the energy consumption of the network is attributed to the token, which is determined based on the activity of the crypto-asset within the network. When calculating the energy consumption, the Functionally Fungible Group Digital Token Identifier (FFG DTI) is used - if available - to determine all implementations of the asset in scope. The mappings are updated regularly, based on data of the Digital Token Identifier Foundation.
