The Arweave whitepaper describes a protocol for the disintermediated transmission of information across space and time. The protocol aims to serve as an institution offering an arbitrarily scalable permanent ledger of data and speech in cyberspace without centralized authority and control. The system is designed to incentivize the permanent storage of information within its network, with users providing a one-time upfront contribution to the network's storage endowment and uploading the corresponding data by transmitting it to nodes within the network. The paper also explores the core Arweave development team's views on what additional technologies may be added to the Arweave protocol to further enhance its unique offering.
