Data stored on a blockchain varies depending on the blockchain. The most popular blockchains - Bitcoin and Ethereum - store very little data. But other blockchains like Arweave, Filecoin, Storj, and Sia have been purpose-built for next-generation data storage.

Although Arweave provides its own form of Metadata to aid applications with more enhanced functionality, Arweave can also be utilized to store specific NFT Metadata on the permaweb in order to provide data permanence to NFTs.

Blockchain is a distributed database that allows for secure, transparent, and tamper-proof transactions. This makes it the perfect technology for storing data. But what type of data?

Arweave remains the only permanent storage method to maintain NFT reliability and sustainability. Every NFT's image and metadata is stored for at least 200 years when uploaded to the protocol.

The price to store data on Arweave is dynamic but tends to fluctuate within a narrow range of $6.35 to $8.50 per GB. In reality, for most uploaded files, this price difference will only be a fraction of a cent.

The first permanent, decentralized storage app that you can have on your phone.

Traditional ways to save photos for long periods of time are flawed. But blockchain technology points to a new method of long-term digital photo storage.

The key factor in keeping any information around for long periods of time is redundancy - keeping multiple copies in multiple locations.

Every day humans send 300 billion emails and generate 2.5 million terabytes of data. Some of this data would be beneficial to store permanently. But how?

With all the attention around NFTs one of the biggest questions often remains unasked: Where is the NFT that I am buying or selling actually stored?

ArFS improves upon the standard file browsing experience of Arweave by adding the ability to create folders (data hierarchy), private encryption, file versioning, controlled sharing and more.

Arweave remains the only permanent storage method to maintain NFT reliability and sustainability. Every NFT's image and metadata is stored for at least 200 years when uploaded to the protocol.

The price to store data on Arweave is dynamic but tends to fluctuate within a range of $3.00 to $8.00 per GB. In reality, for most uploaded files, this price difference will only be a fraction of a cent.

We've made a major step forward with how files get from ArDrive to the Arweave network with a new technology called bundles.

The NFT craze has been heating up in the crypto world and OpenSea is at the center of it. But with all the attention around NFTs one of the biggest questions often remains unasked: Where is the NFT that I am buying or selling actually stored?

How do you archive your site without paying storage and server costs for years to come? It’s surprisingly hard to do. Fortunately, the permaweb can help.

Pro tips on how to explore, download, share and even upload files for free on ArDrive.

Many people react skeptically to Arweave's claim of data permanence because it seems impossible and has never been achieved before. Let's explore the proof for the viability of this claim.

Both are decentralized data storage solutions built on blockchain technology. Arweave is focused on the problem of long-term data storage, whereas Filecoin is trying to disrupt the existing cloud storage market.

As the world has entered the information age a new problem has arisen for basically everyone on the planet: How do I keep my data stored for long periods of time?

Most invention and innovation happens in small incremental steps. But once in a while, an innovation takes a giant step forward and completely changes the space it is in. Arweave is one of these disruptive types of innovation.
