    One year of AO. Reflections on the state of web3, the progress we've made on the permaweb, and the path forward.

    📣 Major announcement: @Meta is now using Arweave to permanently store digital collectables from @instagram. Instagram users are now able to issue digital collectables for their posts, stored on Arweave. Some thoughts 👇

    Tragic news from Ukraine today. My heart goes out to all those that are affected by the conflict. So far the Arweave community has archived over 5 million documents from Ukraine in order to generate a permanent and immutable record of the events there. 1/4

    Almost 70 million documents about the war in Ukraine have now been permanently stored in the Arweave network. These records are stored in hundreds of places across the world, backed by an endowment, with no centralized points of failure. Blockchains are not just for finance.

    Just stored data on Arweave with my Polygon wallet, paying in $MATIC. The @BundlrNetwork paid the $AR on my behalf. Instant, guaranteed finality permanent storage -- available in the chain's native token. 🤯 Wow.

    📢 @ArweaveEco has been building something incredible: A hyper parallel computer living inside Arweave. PoS computation that lets any number of processes execute in parallel. Oh, and it offers temporary storage. All on Arweave. Testnet: Live. Join us: 2/27. @aoTheComputer.

    January was an all time high in transaction count on Arweave! Up 80% month-over-month, and 21.4% higher than the NFT bull market peak.

    Arweave will never use a fee market for storage. This will be an incredible boon for adoption over time, but surprisingly few realize this so far. Here's how it works: Deep tech 🐘🧵👇

    We just deployed 20,000 images, data entries and files to mainnet in a few dozen TXs. This is like if Ethereum had removed all scalability limits in May 2017. Excited.

    The first major user of bundled transactions on Arweave is live! 🚀 @metaplex are already pushing ~5 TPS to the Arweave network. This alone is just shy of the maximum capacity of Ethereum. Next up: Paying for data entries with @solana tokens (settled in $AR by bundler nodes).

    AO mainnet is now live. This is a huge step towards the kind of internet we in the @ArweaveEco have been building towards. I am immensely grateful to the incredible builders and our amazing community who worked so hard to make this happen. While this is a major milestone, we

    Wild. @solana NFT apes in full force! 4x traffic increase to arweave.net in 12 hours. Arweave.net is scaling up as we speak, but remember: integrate dCDNs like @NetworkMeson and @Media_FDN to gain properly decentralised and fast access to permaweb data!
