Permanent storage network Arweave releases 2.8 protocol upgrade, introduces composite packaging format

Permanent storage network Arweave is releasing its 2.8 protocol upgrade, introducing a new packaging format (Composite Packing) that improves network efficiency, scalability, and energy efficiency. Technical highlights of Arweave 2.8 include: - Allows miners to utilize slower storage devices while maintaining network performance, significantly reducing the hardware requirements for node operators; - Further strengthens the security of the network by implementing enhanced anti-ASIC measures; - Optimizes the blockchain synchronization process and reduces the time required to synchronize a full node.
