Arweave
ARLive. Machine-drafted, not yet checked by a person.
Arweave is a network for storing data permanently, in a way that is spread across many computers rather than one company's servers. Its pages make no dated promises we could check. It trades at $2.68, #187 of all coins by size, 97% below its highest ever price.
This week in the news: new software release.
A real job, real backing. No dated promises on its pages. Nothing dated ahead. #3 of 20 storage networks. Nothing to be careful of on the record.
Is it real?

It is already worth more than the typical coin in Storage ($14.45M). To match the leader, Filecoin ($733.96M), its price would need to rise 317%, to about $11.18.
Still to check
- No dated promise on record yet, so delivery cannot be judged
- Only 1 headline named it last month
What to do Nothing dated is ahead and nothing has been delivered on record. There is no event to wait for yet, which is itself the answer.
A gap is not a forecast. Most small coins never close it. The site never picks.
Four tests, printed. Passing all four means a real job, real backing, something ahead, and a price far below the leader of its group. A filter on facts, never a verdict.
Every line has a source: the coin's own listing, CoinGecko's tags, the record, or the news feed. Reputation here is a count, never an opinion.
Does it deliver?
No dated promise has been found on the pages this project publishes. Its pages are saved every night, so anything it commits to from now on appears here.

Nothing dated
The project has not put a date on anything still open. That is a fact worth knowing.

Storage: this coin next to Filecoin, the biggest rival within reach. People go to the bigger coin unless the smaller one does something it does not.
- Arweave says
- Arweave is a network for storing data permanently, in a way that is spread across many computers rather than one company's servers.
- Filecoin says
- Filecoin describes itself as a decentralized way to store data, as an alternative to using cloud storage companies.
Two claims, side by side, in their own words. Whether the difference is real is for the record to show over time, and for you to judge.
Arweave is a network for storing data permanently, in a way that is spread across many computers rather than one company's servers.
Its listing puts it this way: Welcome to the future of data storage A new data storage blockchain protocol based on a novel proof of access consensus mechanism that creates truly permanent data storage for the first time. Now data is finally permanent, low-cost, and truly censorship free.
Problem it says it solves: decentralised storage. 21 coins are working on it and together they are worth $1,658,269,102. This coin is 11% of that.
Where it trades: Crypto.com, Kraken, Binance, OKX, Bybit
Each bar is a coin's worth today (price × coins out), longest first. The lit bar is this coin; grey bars are the others doing the same job.
Bars are market cap. Order is size, nothing else. Differences are measured from the coin you are looking at.
What should make me careful?
Nothing printed today
None of the six tests fails. A missed promise counts only on a record a person has checked.

What it says is different: Welcome to the future of data storage A new data storage blockchain protocol based on a novel proof of access consensus mechanism that creates truly permanent data storage for the first time. Now data is finally…
It is 24.0% the size of Filecoin. On the facts above it is behind on major exchanges, headlines, last month. For that gap to close, the record would need deliveries showing up in its record, news that names it. Nothing here says it will; the site does not predict.
The tests: nothing to hold it for, more missed than delivered, priced ahead of its record, half the supply still to come, rivals ship while it does not, a big release of coins soon.
