Arweave is about to usher in the era of decentralized storage + computing

Author: PermaDAO

During this Chinese Spring Festival, a big event happened in the Arweave ecosystem.

On February 14th, ecosystem founder Sam announced on Twitter that Arweave had officially launched AO and planned to launch a test network on February 27th. This information quickly caused a stir in the industry. People discuss and forward. Subsequently, AR surged nearly 20% within three days, ranking second on the increase list.

AO is a distributed, decentralized computing based on Arweave environment. It allows any number of parallel processes to coordinate their work via messaging in an open, trustless system. Unlike EVM, AO can provide nearly unlimited computing performance and ensure minimal trust and verifiability between different systems.

The core concept of SCP is off-chain computing and data consensus. Similarly, AO is also a set of off-chain protocol specifications. The security of its messages is guaranteed by Arweave's decentralized data layer, and its design concept is fully consistent with SCP theory. Under Sam's ingenious design, AO can enable thousands of SCP applications to communicate trustlessly. AO is a truly global, decentralized high-performance computer. In AO, computing power can become an abstract resource like a process and can be hot-swapped.

everPay, Warp, MEM and other protocols will be integrated and compatible with the AO protocol, which means that everPay and other protocols will become independent computing power processes integrated into the AO network . everPay is a blockchain-based multi-chain protocol that aggregates different blockchain assets into a unified protocol layer. Assets can be transferred easily between accounts on any chain on everPay. We provide users with 0 handling fees and real-time payment services; at the same time, everPay’s identity system EverID provides users with low-threshold abstract accounts, making it easier for users to manage blockchain assets without memorizing words or passwords.

After everPay integrates the AO protocol, we will provide cross-chain capabilities for blockchain assets for all applications in the AO network. Applications in the AO network can also easily integrate and use the EverID abstract account. At this time, AO will also empower everPay, so that more SCP application messages can be verified on everPay, truly realizing the combination and interoperability of decentralized applications!

It can be said that Arweave is not limited to storage. AR is about to usher in the era of decentralized storage + computing, which will attract more developers to the community. Web3 has just begun!
