What is Arweave (AR) crypto?

Arweave is a decentralized storage network. It aims to provide a platform for indefinite data storage. It calls itself "a collectively owned hard drive that never forgets". The network hosts a permanent, decentralized web with community-driven platforms called "permaweb".

The native token of the Arweave network is AR. The miners use it as a payment service to store the network's information indefinitely. The project was first announced in August 2017 and was known as Archain. However, it later rebranded itself in February of the following year as Arweave and officially had its launch in June 2018. The project was founded by Sam Williams and William Jones.
