The Epic Battle of Arweave: A Forking Tale of Greed and Power

Once upon a time in the blockchain kingdom of Arweave, a fierce battle was brewing. It all started when Irys, a prominent layer-2 network, had a dubious plan to fork the Arweave network. But this wasn’t just any regular fork. Oh no, they wanted to “drop the dataset and reset the token supply.” Talk about a power move!

But wait, there’s more! The founder of Arweave, the brave and noble Sam Williams, didn’t take this affront lightly. He revealed the shocking news on Twitter, accusing Irys of being driven by none other than greed. In an epic display of defiance, he announced, “Arweave intends to remove the Irys bundlers from the trusted set on the main Arweave gateways.” Boom! Take that, Irys!

In a swift counterattack, the developers of Irys fired back with their own Twitter post. They claimed that they were developing new provenance tech and accused Arweave of “active censorship.” According to them, Arweave was trying to “deplatform” Irys. The battle lines were drawn, and it was getting intense.

As this war raged on, consequences started to unfold. The Arweave token, once a shining star, took a hit. In just two days, its value plummeted by over 20%. Ouch! Investors were feeling the pain. Irys, being the largest layer-2 network on Arweave, accounted for a whopping 90% of the blockchain’s daily transaction volume. But since the allegations surfaced, that volume fell by a staggering 31%. Talk about turning the tide!

Now, let’s dive deeper into the realm of Arweave. It’s not your ordinary blockchain. No, no! It is an immutable decentralized storage network that holds the treasures of Web2 and Web3 data. Imagine a colossal treasure chest filled with web pages, gaming data, images, and the precious metadata of nonfungible tokens. It’s like a digital Aladdin’s cave! A mind-blowing 74.26 pebibytes (that’s 83.6 million gigabytes) of data are stored on the Arweave blockchain. It’s a veritable treasure trove, my friends!

So, what’s next for Arweave? Will Irys and Arweave reconcile, or will their battle continue to wreak havoc in the blockchain kingdom? Stay tuned, my fellow digital treasure hunters, for there are powerful new features yet to be revealed. Let’s keep our eyes on this enthralling saga as it unfolds.


And that concludes our thrilling tale of the Battle of Arweave. Which side are you on, dear readers? Are you Team Arweave or Team Irys? Let us know in the comments below.
