Arweave is a decentralized data storage platform founded in 2017 by Sam Williams and William Jones. Arweave provides a pay-once pricing model that makes it possible to store data permanently and intends to be more profitable than centralized storage in the long term as the cost of data storage devices falls over time. 

A critical use case for Arweave is the so-called permaweb. In Web 2.0, websites and the following information hosted there are subject to being taken down, starting from its creator even hostile governments. But, unfortunately, they also break all the links that point to the original site and thus degrade the user experience.
