# Arweave # Arweave
## Overview ## Overview
Arweave is a decentralized storage network that allows users to store data permanently. It leverages blockchain technology to create a more reliable and permanent data storage solution. The Arweave network is like Bitcoin, but for data: a permanent and decentralized web inside an open ledger.
Arweave is a decentralized storage network that provides permanent and immutable data storage. It aims to create a "permaweb," a new version of the web where data is stored forever, ensuring that information remains accessible and uncensored. Arweave uses a unique data structure called "blockweave," which allows nodes to join the network immediately and store data efficiently. The network is powered by its native token, AR, which is used for transactions and incentivizing miners to maintain the data storage.
