How does one fund an Arweave wallet (aside from the free faucet)?

It's surprisingly hard to find this information.

The open web is dead, long live the open web. ⌐◨-◨

Building /warpcast and /farcaster

I like baking /goodbread and building apps on web3 protocols. DevRel @ ENS Labs. gregskril.com

Their documentation is... literally non-existent.

Found this so far.

I spent 30+ mins trying to figure this out a few weeks ago then gave up and just created another wallet to get funds from the faucet lol

I'm just prototyping something "permaweb" related. Using Arweave because Mirror and Paragraph are built on it.

What are you trying to use Arweave for? And why Arweave? Despite potential conflicts of interest in my day job, I’m genuinely curious.

This tool mimics Arweave API locally.

This site supports buying AR and bridging it. (Haven't done full due diligence though)
https://everpay.io/ 

Crypto.com also sells AR. It supports withdrawals but looks like they can take a while

Bundler.network seems to be the most popular way

Thx I'll check bundlr out. Might have to do the same.

I gave up trying to use arweave directly and just go through bundlr now way easier

You need to buy from an exchange that offers AR. There is no way to convert like some other currencies (that I know of anyways). I think crypto.com offers it.
