Why Arweave Stands Out From the Rest.

What is Arweave?

Arweave is a blockchain protocol that enables secure onchain data storage at low prices based on a novel Proof of Access mechanism. Arweave’s blockchain technology has been built on blockweave that ensures permanent storage on new blockchain. In order to achieve this, Arweave has been developed on four key technologies so that an environment suited for cheap prices permanent storage can be generated. These technologies are; blockweave, Proof of Access, Wildfire, Blockshadows. Arweave and its team of experts are certain to provide solution to a longtime problem of permanent data storage.
What makes Arweave to standout?

The Blockweave
This is a first-hand distributed ledger with its technological advancements and improvement placing it ahead of the latest blockchains and setting it to be the backbone of the data economy. The blockweave repackages the old, traditional usual blockchains. The arweave is designed on a new agreement mechanism called ‘Proof of Access’ which enables production of positive externality instead of negative externality and most importantly low-cost permanent data storage.
Self-Organizing Network
The Arweave’s team introduces a fresh self-organising decentralized algorithm that enables the network topology to get used to the most reliable routes of information distribution.
High Transaction Throughput
The establishment of the blockweave has come with a great increase of the transaction speeds computations on a decentralized network. After intensive research, experts have come up with ‘block shadows’, which permits the weave to reach speeds of up to 5000 transactions per second
Simple Decentralized App Development

Arweave has aimed at making it easy for developers to create applications on the blockweave. They have designed their own REST APIs which permits developers to create Arweave App’s in any programming language they wish. This has also allowed the building of Apps by the development community even before their mainnet is launched. The client is only required to bring their Arweave wallet to a website by use of a native Application with Arweave wallet integration in order to read or write to or from the network. A number of applications can be developed on top of the weave.
Democratic Content Policy

The individual participants in the ecosystem are free to control what data and information they store and to permit the network as a whole to democratically discard information that is broadly detested, the Arweave software provides a blacklisting system. Every node sustains a blacklist holding substrings of certain information it doesn’t wish to store. These blacklists can be developed by individuals or imported from external sources. At the primary level, these blacklists permit the nodes to control their own content, nevertheless the sum of these local rejections also creates network wide content rejection. Content that is rejected by more than half the network will be rejected by the individual nodes and the whole network. These generates a democratic Network Wide content rejection network that can combine variety of blacklists across a selection of cultures into a single blacklist of content that is universally detested. This almost universal, democratic blacklist guards the network from external suppression from a small number of actors while still permitting it to guard itself in a democratic manner.
Storage pools

One probable imaginary occurrence against the Arweave that has become extremely huge is that miners may work co-operatively in order to sustain a sole replica of the weave which they all access to retrieve blocks. This kind of activity could be viewed as problematic at first but that’s not the case here. If similar ‘storage pools’ are used by a large fraction of the miners then the motivation for fellow miners increases. This happens this way because the central stores of data and information may become unavailable and miners with a replica of the rare blocks will probably be rewarded in future when that block becomes the recall block. The network is subjected to a risk-offsetting function by this conduct which scales as the potential for data loss increases.

Client-Server Architecture
Most traditional web have an in-built client-server architecture. A server tasked with running the cloud will be ‘’Arweave activated’’, conducting business with a number or Arweave’s nodes, reading and writing data in the best interests of clients, or they can act as native applications that pass important client’s requests to a server run by the developers. In order to make sure that requests for writing data will be granted, the servers are required to sustain a float of AR tokens. However, reading of the contents in the weave is free for this network, raising funds for this architecture may not be an uphill task. A developer is required to accumulate value through monthly subscriptions or direct payments within their application than the sum of the AR tokens they are spending to power their storage. There are several applications built help Arweave achieve a permanent Immutable Storage. Even though some legislation is required to lodge sensitive information storage, geographical backgrounds can also be eased through encryption and key management. A number of revenue generating models can be incrusted on top of the blockweave with the chief aim of creating permanent immutable storage on chain.
