What's the difference between IPFS & Arweave? 🤔

Both decentralize storage. Both reduce reliance on centralized servers. Both use content addressing.

BUT!

The approaches and outcomes are different:

Permanence:
🗄️ IPFS → needs pinning/infra, data can vanish
♾️ Arweave → one-time fee, storage incentivized long-term

Economics:
💸 IPFS → recurring hosting fees
💰 Arweave → endowment model, pay once

Provenance:
🔍 IPFS → integrity only
📜 Arweave → every upload onchain, verifiable provenance

Serving:
🌐 IPFS → depends on active hosts
🚀 Arweave → global reliability via AR.IO gateways

Both push decentralization forward.
Only one makes permanence + provenance the default 🐘

Nice to see Manifold leverage the tools that make Arweave scalable!

We’ve upgraded to Turbo powered by @ar_io_network  ️ 

What does this mean? Uploads to @ArweaveEco are now faster, smoother, and more reliable, so your creations are secured onchain in a snap. https://t.co/H55zs3ajKd

Product

What happens when customers bring their own data, preferences, and even their own AI to the customer experience?

It's a lot harder to un-rug you NFTs and migrate to Arweave than to just use Arweave in the 1st place.

IPFS is the room your mom rented. (Yes your mom is an NFT platform)

Arweave is your art gallery.

And Ethereum your national museum.

And well, I have bad news, your mom can't pay for your room anymore.
So you better start joining an art gallery (Arweave) or a museum (Ethereum). https://t.co/grBy22KYc5

Where you build reflects what you believe.

We believe in permanent, user-owned, decentralized systems. That’s why we’re making Farcaster our primary home for building in public.

Here's what that commitment looks like in practice 👇

AI data has a trust issue.

Arweave fixes this.

arweave based farcaster clients would give users the options to choose which version of the app to use 👀🤔

politics

🚨 R.I.P Indonesia Democracy 🚨

(Warning: this is a disturbing video showing protesters and police officers)

1. A ride-hailing driver was run over by police officers during today’s protest, and the driver has just been declared dead on August 29, 2025.

2. The brutality of the police has led them to assault the protesters. All TV news outlets have been silenced and are not allowed to record or broadcast it, but there’s a live video clip from one of the demonstrations.

3. What is seen in this video shows the ugly side of law enforcement: an officer pulling someone’s hair and stomping on the head of a protester.

The police should serve as protectors, guardians, and humane enforcers of the law. Violence only worsens the situation, causes trauma, and widens the gap between the people and the police.

these are the things that governments love to memory hole

Arweave is the fix!

crypto

it’s not just all financial assets that will move onchain, it’s all forms of media too - art, photos, writing, and more

if it’s digital, i’ll bet that an onchain record of ownership is gonna become the expectation

ppl don’t care… until they do, simply a matter of time 🌱

psssst Arweave is onchain storage at scale 

pass it on
