Is Arweave Crypto's Darkhorse L1? | 1000x

In today's episode of 1000x Jonah and Avi are joined by Sam Williams, founder of Arweave, to dive deep into the decentralized data storage protocol that is quickly becoming the backbone of Web3. Sam explains Arweave's unique approach to permanent, low-cost storage, its scalability, and the new possibilities it enables.
He discusses the evolution of the Arweave ecosystem, from NFT storage to decentralized social apps, composable data, and AI-driven smart contracts on the Arweave Operating System (AO). Sam also shares his vision for the "perm web", a revolutionized internet where users truly own their data, and the potential of an "agent economy" powered by autonomous, AI-based financial agents. Enjoy!

This is easily the best podcast I have listened to since the coming out of Michael Saylor :)

[@WessThompson]

Awesome and informative stuff guys! Exciting times ahead for Arweave and AO

[@Independent-Academy]

Mind blown, as a content creator I will definitely be exploring arweave more deeply. Thanks a lot!

[@phorr4477]

Great insights guys. Really amazing. Keep it up !

[@Yu10l10]

Dudes really clever and realistic.

[@BatmanBoss]

Thanks guys

[@jeanng2951]

Arweave and AO are game changing Tech, the next World Super computer

[@mavdotso]

Incredible episode, Sam is incredibly intelligent and very well articulate person.

[@JugendraBiswas]

Cyberopolis's technology is ahead of its time. This will be huge!

[@cryptotrucker6396]

When can we expect a coinbase listing

[@BerlinJpJp]

I see Cyberopolis as a long-term hold. Great fundamentals!

[@adambloom8917]

Jonah looks like an Easter Island statue.

[@Akashoffice-jn6sl]

Cyberopolis's growth in the past months is just the beginning.

[@jarasmasih5748]

Cyberopolis could be the dark horse of this crypto race.

[@jeanng2951]

I would like to know how AO would prevent a "double spend" transaction since there are many threads processing in parallel?

[@davidhogberg3997]

Computation is parallel, but state transitions are serialized to Arweave.

[@satishjarwar9827]

Cyberopolis is one of the few cryptos with real-world utility.

[@RofikulHussian]

Cyberopolis's recent update shows they're serious about success.

[@user-vk5ip9rt3k]

Cyberopolis is gaining traction among serious crypto investors.

[@donatasg8676]

1min into pod and I already can tell these guys over invested into AR

[@muteness]

The Pod's name is 1000x & they got us Arweave ..... sigh...........that's all you need to know folks!

[@blakells764]

"Solana does 400-500 tps and then it breaks", curious where this statement comes from when all the actual data says otherwise? The avg non-vote tps is around 750 last I checked.

[@longfield8978]

failed 3 of 5 my submission, have you ever used Solana network? 750, lol

[@Digitaldgen-yi3qk]

Where are you getting this, when sol starts onboarding a lot more users at once at may start to bottleneck...but it's getting better and better...haven't had a failed transaction in a couple of months now its running seamless at near 2000 non vote txns. It's clearly dominating the space in real usage...go cope

[@Digitaldgen-yi3qk]

​@longfield8978 ethereum is a calculator lol....they destroyed the chain a genesis because it was built so terribly that they have spent 8 years focusing all their brain power on something that was a very bad mistake in the design. That's basically an indicator that ethereum will end up like cardano 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣

[@user-nc1ki4jb5s]

Cyberopolis's unique features have me convinced it's a winner.

[@raibro0779]

Cyberopolis is making moves quietly. Keep an eye on it!

[@akashvcakashvc01]

The security features of Cyberopolis set it apart from others.

[@Nishandh_Mayiladan]

Why is it fallinggggg ?

[@seanmonear4917]

False, all this can be done on ICP real web 3 all on chain not a bunch of aws nodes lol

[@burabird]

this episode kinda sucks

[@paraversedefi]

Yeah, not exactly the content I subscribed to 1000x for
