Memory Gardens secures your memories for 200+ years through Arweave on a platform that you can experience with a VR headset, mobile device, or computer. Founder Ben Peeri has combined his years of technical experience at large corporations with his innovative perspective to create MemoryGardens.xyz.The impetus for creating Memory Gardens stems from his personal experience - he lost a loved one and was mourning that loss and in need of a place to remember events, stories, etc. At first, Memory Gardens was a place exclusively for pets. After speaking with a number of individuals interested in the service for humans, he's now opened it up for any memory, including those featuring humans of course. Today, you can create customizable spaces and place images and various forms of media on what look like picture frames of these digital buildings and walls. It's a visceral experience and one that lends itself to recalling events that have even have themes, like a holiday setting that features imagery from those specific times. The team at Memory Gardens is being very mindful of the onboarding process, with options to pay with crypto or a credit card. The intention is to enable access to this technology so that individuals can easily share and store these memories for generations to come. Be sure and visit MemoryGardens.xyz if you're interested in creating your own Memory Garden. Follow @onlyarweave and check out OnlyArweave.com

Blockchain continues to elevate legacy systems (like referral networks) with more robust architecture. Usher is a partnerships platform for web3 - you can also think of it as a referral network for web3. If you're a builder and want to create your own referral campaign, use our Usher link here to sign up: https://app.usher.so/inv/kjzl6cwe1jw146m7un34t705z20e84pxqhdsi31b4gh33dz66u0qkl7vwsptl0xUsher enables both community builders and developers the ability to create incentive mechanisms to power growth and awareness. In the current world of business, referrals constitute a massive amount of new customers, and the same can apply in web3 - this is what Usher has built (and stored on Arweave). Usher merges the benefit of a referral system with the integrity of the immutable blockweave. Those that share their link as referrers can be confident that the terms won't change on them mid-campaign, and if there is any change it will be accessible on the blockweave. In short, Usher is providing transparency beyond anything we've seen prior with partnerships and referral platforms. This has the potential to quickly establish credibility, considering transparency shows all what is happening behind "closed doors" which are often opaque in the current web2 way of doing things. Be sure and visit Usher.so if you're interested in creating your own campaign or if you want to earn by sharing. Follow @onlyarweave and check out OnlyArweave.com

At first glance it can be a bit of a challenge to understand the breadth of what founder Joe Berenbaum is building with AFTR.market - Is it a multi-sig? Is it a governance tool? Is it made for managing bounties? These questions (and more!) are explored in this deep dive into AFTR.market and the builder behind it all. In short, AFTR does a lot, and as a platform it has the possibility of un-locking high volume and collaborative building on Arweave well beyond what we see today. AFTR Market allows you to create and group Arweave assets together inside of a “vehicle.” By grouping these assets together on-chain, one can then put governance around them to manage their profit streams. There are layers when going through these concepts, we unpack them to deliver a conversation that is both informative and imaginative.Give AFTR.market a follow @AftrMarketVisit onlyarweave.com and follow @onlyarweave on Twitter and Metaweave for all things Arweave!

Music on Nina can be publicly streamed by anyone - it can also be released as digital editions that can be purchased to both support artists and enable collector-only experiences. In a world where traditional record labels have received criticism for the lack of transparency and allocation percentages to artists, Nina is building both a transparent protocol and an artist-first platform that enables very high levels of artist equity in everything created and distributed via Nina. On Nina, the artist receives 100% of the initial sales, and just 1.5% goes to Nina Protocol for secondary sales. In addition to a much more artist-oriented and equitable business model, Nina is built on web3, featuring Solana and of course Arweave for storage. A simple one time fee enables permanent storage of the tracks, making it easy to have piece of mind that the music will be sticking around for collectors and fans. The power of the Nina Protocol is that it can enable both artists and fans to earn. Their recently introduced "Hubs" feature brings an entirely new form of earning via referrals and much more. A hub can be just about anything imaginable, and the use-cases are just beginning to come into fruition. Founders Mike and Eric have been long time friends, and the entire Nina Protocol team is tight-knit, all with a deep love for music and artists in general. There is a lot more to come, enjoy this episode!Visit onlyarweave.com and follow @onlyarweave on Twitter and Metaweave for all things Arweave! 

Hear directly from the founder of wordcel.club, Shek Dev, and his wild journey building on web3. Wordcel is a publishing platform built using Solana + Arweave, a powerful combination of both accessible and robust technology. Shek's journey to building full-time in web3 is inspiring - it shows that you, yes you, can put resources out into any community and receive some great results (especially in the Arweave ecosystem!). His commitment has been aided through his involvement in SuperTeamDAO, a community and source of feedback that has proven invaluable to his efforts building in web3.What started as a list of projects and a tweet within the Solana ecosystem, has led to Shek taking home the winning prize for the Solana Riptide hackathon (web3 category) just months after his intro entry into the community. The $50k USDC prize not only provided initial funding, it also created a significant spike in growth - there are about 1,000 individuals on the beta list. Worldcel has big plans, and Shek's commitment to open source, decentralized, and censorship-resistance is inspiring as he and team build out what may become an integral component of the future of publishing. From an empathetic perspective on user experience (UX), and an attention to detail regarding the brand and identity, keep an eye out for what Shek and wordcel.club do next!Wordcel's intro blog post is here. Follow Shek on twitter @shek_devVisit onlyarweave.com and follow @onlyarweave on Twitter and Metaweave for all things Arweave

Co-founder Sherlock Shi takes us on an adventure, ultimately arriving at why meson.network exists, what is here today, and what is in the pipeline. His experience as an Arweave miner, his knowledge of Proof Of Work, and analogies of electricity distribution via Bitcoin and how it relates to bandwidth definitely brings some fresh thinking to how nodes can power the world.In this episode we dive deep into what meson does and why it's important for the decentralized internet going forward. Fundamentally, meson is built to deliver content faster (content delivery network) by enabling individuals with idle bandwidth to participate and earn meson tokens. While at the time of recording meson is currently in an incentivized testnet, more opportunities will likely be arising soon. The team at meson is committed to making the process to sharing bandwidth so easy that someone will not need any manual or walkthrough on how to do it. They see this as an important step to further access and adoption of this technology. Give meson a whirl here and experience the speed they can already deliver -> https://meson.network/#demoFollow Sherlock here: @SherlockShi_AHAVisit onlyarweave.com and follow @onlyarweave on Twitter for all things Arweave

You'll quickly understand that Tom Wilson is dedicate to providing resources to other builders, and most recently, those building on Arweave. What started as an initial tutorial for 8pin, has grown into Permanotes.app, with regular tutorials on Youtube and more. He's also the founder of Hyper.io, which enables developers to build just about any application by taking advantage of Hyper's single API entry point and composable services. In short, its the "easy button" for creating back-end services. Tom has been building software for several decades, and he has a long and impressive history of creating value. We dive deep into how Permanotes works, what's to come, why it's important to give to the community, and what the future looks like of what may be called "DataFi" on Arweave. Our guest is an inventor, he sees opportunities and gets to building with a curiosity and drive that creates an energy wherever he finds himself online. If you're looking for a great experience diving into application development on Arweave, Tom and @onlyarweave collaborated on an entire tutorial to build a decentralized "Permaweb-pinning" geolocation app. Find the tutorial here, and have a go on the app at dev.8pin.app.Visit onlyarweave.com and follow @onlyarweave on Twitter for all things Arweave

The world of institutional digital preservation has been going on for decades, and Peter Van Garderen has been a leading force as the founder of Artefactual Systems. His company has produced the most widely deployed archive management solutions in the world - Archivematica and Access-to-Memory. Peter's journey has led him to web3 and he's now working on a number of projects that require archiving of data, including Landano (land management dApp) and Orcfax (Cardano oracle)."My agenda is to apply record-keeping and archival science research and standards to web3. While blockchain document notarization and Arweave's permaweb design solve some fundamental issues for long-term access to authentic digital information, there is still a layer of (professional standard) record-keeping business logic that is missing from web3 platforms. I plan to tackle this shortcoming in Arkly." - Peter Van GarderenArkly.io is in the early development stage (at the time of this recording) and the plan is to open access to the Arkly API for other Web3 projects in Q4 2022 and launch a user-interface in early 2023.Visit onlyarweave.com and follow @onlyarweave on Twitter for all things Arweave.

From building dApps to joining the core Arweave team, Cedrik has touched just about every aspect of the development process when creating on Arweave. He's gone on to create Textury.org, where he and a team continue to make key tools for creating Profit Sharing Tokens (via community.xyz), uploading to the Permaweb (via arkb), and most recently the launch of a new gateway (arweave.live). "Our main priority right now is Arg8, the new gateway that we have released...we want to help as much as possible for the managing the Arweave ecosystem load... the only gateway that everyone was using is arweave.net. The current version of the gateway is not easy to get started... so with Argate with want to bring more possibilities and hopefully anyone will be able to start their own gateway with Arg8 (arweave.live)" [paraphrased]. Gateways are an important ingredient in accessing the Permaweb, they are basically the "doors" to the Permaweb. Historically, one gateway has been managing a massive amount of traffic and at times there have been challenges due to the load. Arg8 is looking to make it easy to spin up a gateway which in turn will likely increase the accessibility of the Permaweb and continue to expand the decentralized nature of Arweave and the Permaweb. Visit onlyarweave.com and follow @onlyarweave on Twitter.

Duncan Brown is a blockchain engineer and team lead at Veritree, a reforestation initiative that is built on Cardano and Arweave. Their mission is to create the technology to verify and amplify the world's best Nature-Based Solutions. The team partners with established tree planting organizations, and they go several steps further by adding on-the-ground data to the blockweave to store it permanently. From APIs, custom built dashboards, and trackable tree codes, Veritree appears to be doing just about everything to keep a cohesive ledger of their tree planting efforts in order to maintain a high standard of verification and planting authenticity. Duncan is an inspiring individual who cares deeply about both blockchain and the environment. When looking for solutions to manage the tech side of the project, he and team decided upon Cardano and Arweave - a combination we're seeing more of in the world of "web3". The Veritree team has experimented with a number of methodologies for drumming up interest, one of which is what they call an ITO or Initial Tree Offering. They've successfully launched one already, you can find the details here: ito.veritree.com.Visit onlyarweave.com and follow @onlyarweave on Twitter.
