Arweave Integration
Why Arweave?
Arweave solves permanent storage through economic incentives rather than promises. One payment funds storage forever through an endowment model based on declining storage costs.
Arweave Advantages:
True permanence
One-time payment model
Content addressing prevents tampering
Geographic distribution
Direct HTTP access
How It Works
Code storage on Arweave follows a systematic process ensuring permanence and accessibility. Each step is optimized for efficiency and reliability.
Storage Process:
Code bundled with metadata
Private repos encrypted client-side
Bundle compressed for efficiency
Uploaded to Arweave network
Transaction ID stored on-chain
Content accessible via gateways
Cost Structure
Arweave storage costs approximately $10 per GB forever - not monthly, but permanent. OpenSource covers these costs from treasury, making storage free for developers.
Cost Benefits:
One-time payment for eternal storage
Platform covers all costs
No recurring fees
Costs decrease over time
Sustainable economic model
Data Permanence
Arweave's Proof of Access consensus ensures data permanence through economic incentives. Miners must store random historical data to mine new blocks.
Permanence Mechanisms:
Miners incentivized to store everything
Data replicated across hundreds of nodes
Geographic distribution prevents loss
Economic guarantees, not promises
