Arweave Proof-of-Work (PoW) is free from âstate bloat,â so less risk to decentralization

#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 itâs over 8.5 TB) Miner centralization is a real problem, but miners donât need to store the entire âWeaveâ

Arweave must incentivize miners to stay online because fewer data replications = less secure permanent data storage
Solution: âProof-of-Accessâ

Arweaveâs PoW incentivizes miners to store ârareâ 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: âSacrifice Miningâ
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, thereâs no guarantee for timely data retrieval
Arweaveâs solution = http://amplify.host (a consensus protocol for an incentivized Permaweb gateway

Future unknowns:
Arweave is a pioneer in a burgeoning field, so we really donât know how all the moving parts and technologies will evolve.
Those unknowns pose a risk when considering the sustainability of Arweaveâs long-term incentives.

Does Arweave outdo #Filecoin?
Filecoin = temporary storage (decentralizing Amazon S3)
Arweave = permanent storage
