Permaweb Pioneers

Dive deep into the world of NFT "unlockables" with Chris Seline, Founder of Darkblock.io. From pay-per-view, to thumbnails and hi-res formats, we discuss the current state and the possibilities going forward with this technology built on Arweave. Chris shares about his vast experience as a technology founder in the search engine space, branding and the importance of getting a great message out, and the (what seems to be) inevitable market for unlockable content for all types of media and assets stored on the Permaweb. Be sure have check out Darkblock.io and follow @darkblockio on Twitter. And of course, follow @onlyarweave for all things Arweave :)

In this Permaweb Panel hosted live on @onlyarweave’s twitter account, we take a deep dive with the founders of OLTA.art and their emphasis on developers as artists.

The confluence of blockchain, Eteherum, and Arweave make the inner-workings of Sarcophagus possible. Learn about the fundamentals as builder Zach Hamilton walks us through how it all works and shares what is yet to come for this utility of data access and beyond. Sarcophagus is designed to be used for will and trusts, password recovery, credential pass down, and so much more.It's an in-depth conversation that not only explores the intersection of valuable technologies that have enabled Sarcophagus, we also speak about some areas of improvement and a path forwards for Sarcophagus v.2 that is already in the works. Visit: sarcophagus.ioBe sure to follow on Twitter @sarcophagusioAnd of course, follow @onlyarweave for all things Arweave :)

In this Permaweb Panel hosted live on @onlyarweave’s twitter account, we discuss what’s in store for Arweave in 2022 and what we’d like to see going forward. Hear from the founders of Kwil, Spheron, Sarcophagus, the bundlr.network, and KYVE). It’s an informative discussion and a great way to start 2022!Some topics covered: Decentralized UI's and more with Spheron. The importance of free speech and DAO tooling with Quil. Generational data integrity and more with Sarcophagus. Living in a cross-chain world with KYVE.We also hear from Rob of 4SV.io, who is an investor in the ecosystem :).Be sure and follow @onlyarweave to stay in the loop!

The Bundlr Network was born less than 6 months ago, led by Josh Benaron and Sam Williams. Today 60-95% of all Arweave’s TX pass through the Bundlr Network. When asked, “why Arweave?” Josh explained, “Arweave is the only solution out there for truly decentralized permanent storage…the more time I time I spend with Arweave, the more I appreciate the elegance of its design.” Well stated.In this discussion, we dive deep into the story of the Bundlr, the challenges, and the massive opportunity unfolding before our eyes for the Arweave ecosystem at large. It's a big one, enjoy!Visit: bundlr.networkBe sure to follow Josh and the Bundlr on Twitter @BundlrNetworkAnd of course, follow @onlyarweave for all things Arweave :)

A panel featuring Tate Berebaum, Founder of Verto, along with Victor (design at Verto). We are also joined by the founder of Dropverse, a proximity-based NFT drop platform being built on Arweave. We learn more about liquidity mining on Uniswap V3, EIP-4444, Bundlr growth, and dive deep into the design philosophy at Verto and their transition to a SmartWeave-based infrastructure for trading PSTs and more. "[Verto is] focused on building out user experiences and interfaces which enable people to tokenize ANY piece of data, and make it fungible or non-fungible."Co-hosts include Xylophone of Arweave.news, and of course @onlyarweave.

"We are doing to data what the blockchain did to finance" - KYVEThe amount of data being produced by all of the chains in a multi-chain world is sky-rocketing. It is also of practical (and philosophical) importance to store this data in a permanent and economical way on the Permaweb.In this discussion with John Letey, co-founder of KYVE, we explore how KYVE enables data providers to seamlessly store data and reliably verify their data streams. We learn about the process of becoming a validator in the network (in testnet at the time of recording), how uploading occurs, and insight into the speed at which chains can integrate into the KYVE protocol. This is an inspiring conversation with an individual who cares about data integrity and building quality technology.Visit: kyve.networkBe sure and follow @onlyarweave on Twitter to stay in the loop on all things Arweave and Permaweb related. 

A great panel discussion with Sam Williams, the Founder of Arweave. We learn more about the recent hard fork, details about mining upgrades, Shepherd content filtering, and the potential and progress being made for social networks being built on Arweave. It was a pleasure to have Sam join us in this panel - his enthusiasm and dedication to the protocol is inspiring.  "If you want to say something in public, Arweave is the most powerful and effective way of doing that because it does not just perpetuate your information across space, + replicate it across the world, it also replicates it across time, which is the most powerful way to speak."Co-hosts include Xylophone of Arweave.news, Rob of 4sv.io, and of course @onlyarweave.

"What if email was something you bought from a protocol which had no interest in your personal information?"MyMail founder, DMac, shares his inspiration in building decentralized email and how he sees this as an important step in data sovereignty and digital ownership. His journey led him to Arweave, where he realized there was a solution to the problem of centralized email services.The conversation goes deep into both the technical and philosophical interests of this amazing individual and founder in the Arweave ecosystem. You can hear it in his voice - DMac cares about data and the future he's creating for his children and for humanity at large.

There's a lot happening in the Arweave ecosystem, and in this Permaweb Panel Co-hosts @onlyarweave, Rob of 4SV.io, Xylophone of Arweave.news discuss massive updates: The Graph indexing of Arweave, Atomic NFTs via KOII and Verto, Metaplex Candy Machine exponential usage increase, and so much more. The Arweave ecosystem itself is increasing becoming more decentralized with external services being connected, more nodes coming online, and there's a huge increase of integrations. From the latest announcement from The Graph indexing Arweave, to Redstone Finance opening up a decentralized network of node operators, the theme of increased decentralization and composability is coming to life in a big way.There's also big uptick in the amount of NFTs being stored on Arweave. The Metaplex Candy Machine was one of the first adopters of the Bundlr and the NFT platform and utilization of the network has grown well over 30x in just the last month or so. Learn more about this in this episode.In addition to the above, we talk about how the Atomic Arweave Standard is developing into a vital component of any NFT -  "the media is stored on Arweave. The contract is stored on Arweave, they're inseparable. They're completely permanent. Essentially, they're treated like any other profit sharing token on Verto". The impact of this requires a lot of exploratory thought, which is why we're so glad you are a part of this community as we grow and develop together. Thanks so much for learning about the Permaweb, and be in touch anytime @onlyarweave
