Arweave Proof-of-Work (PoW) is free from “state bloat,” so less risk to decentralization

How?

New use cases:

1. Improved data access

(SPoRA) prevents remote storage on servers like AWS, emphasizing speed of access, but does not prevent pooling:

2. Data “provenance”
3. Authenticity (proof-of-existence)
4. Incentivized data storage

#Arweave Disadvantages:

Users pre-pay for future storage costs, so the data must be available for long-term

Increased adoption = exponential growth of data (today it’s over 8.5 TB) Miner centralization is a real problem, but miners don’t need to store the entire “Weave”
(8/15)
Arweave must incentivize miners to stay online because fewer data replications = less secure permanent data storage

Solution: “Proof-of-Access”

(9/15)
Arweave’s PoW incentivizes miners to store “rare” data chunks as the network becomes too large for anybody to store a full node.

Their current pricing mechanism adjusts AR (their native token)/Mb cost during volatile price swings, w/o heavy reliance on external oracles

#Arweave Exploit: “Sacrifice Mining”

Miners upload data without sharing, increasing the chances of a reward in the future.

- Good for the endowment, but not productive storage.

Data storage on Arweave should remain affordable long-term

However, w/o an incentive for nodes to act as gateways, there’s no guarantee for timely data retrieval

Future unknowns:

Arweave is a pioneer in a burgeoning field, so we really don’t know how all the moving parts and technologies will evolve.

Those unknowns pose a risk when considering the sustainability of Arweave’s long-term incentives.

Does Arweave outdo #Filecoin?

Filecoin = temporary storage (decentralizing Amazon S3)
Arweave = permanent storage
