New to @ArweaveEco and @aoTheComputer? Here's what we are about: 1️⃣ Arweave is the permanent substrate for a new, decentralized cyberspace. 2️⃣ It is onchain data at any scale. >25 billion pieces of data and counting. 3️⃣ AO is a decentralized supercomputer built on that foundation. 4️⃣ It offers smart contracts that run as parallel processes each with their own throughput, but a universal communication layer: Arweave. 5️⃣ AO goes much deeper than just smart contracts, though. The AO-Core protocol can turn every service you use in cyberspace into a graph of enmeshed micro-blockchains. Down to every single individual HTTP packet nodes transfer. Authenticated, verifiable, and attestable. 6️⃣ It is unhelpfully novel. It is genuinely so different to existing networks that there are no narratives that capture the ideas. High bar to entry now, but when it clicks, you will see something that crowd has not yet realized. 7️⃣ Arweave is a stable, mature protocol. Mainnet has been live since 2018, serving more use cases than we can keep track of. It has been deflationary from real usage alone almost every month since the start of '25. 8️⃣ AO is a completely different beast. It is early, half-hatched, janky and will take time. It is an enormous project but the vision is getting closer every single day. If you are looking for 'just another L2/X but Y' it is not for you. We are gunning for a deeper prize: A permanent computer for humanity, capable of consuming the internet itself. 9️⃣ $AR is 99.4% circulating already. 🔟 AO minting is early: Distributed 1/3 to AR holders and 2/3 to pre-bridgers of yield-baring assets from other networks. 21m cap, 4 year halving, 0% pre-mine. That's the sitrep. Glad you found us 🫡

Temper your expectations, expect bugs, but $AO staking is now live in alpha for node availability. First service: Community-run Arweave+AO data access 👇
