Reaching 1 billion transactions in 1,868 days showcased a gradual increase in platform engagement and data storage.
Growth accelerated sharply, with transactions soaring from 1 to 2 billion in 153 days, and then to 3 billion in just 55 days.
Arweave’s Exponential Growth: From 1 to 3 Billion Transactions
Arweave’s rapid growth can be attributed to its unique value proposition in the blockchain and data storage sectors. Users of Arweave pay zero fees on top of the base storage costs, a feature that is not only attractive but crucial for its wide-scale adoption. This model offers cost-stable decentralized storage, perfect for long-term data-keeping.
3 billion transactions. Congratulations! 🥳🥳🥳
0 -> 1b: 1,868 days.
1b -> 2b: 153 days.
2b -> 3b: 55 days.Even cooler: Users pay literally zero fees on top of base storage costs. And never will.

One of the most innovative aspects of Arweave is its endowment model, which ensures the permanence of data storage. The endowment contributions, paid once by users for storage, are invested, with the returns used to sustain the network indefinitely. This model has an interesting economic implication for Arweave, making it sporadically deflationary. Arweave’s model counters traditional networks’ rising fees with a stable base storage cost, simplifying user expenses.
More About Arweave
The deflationary aspect of Arweave is critical in a digital ecosystem where the value of digital assets and currencies can be volatile. Arweave’s model, potentially lowering storage costs over time with endowment returns, provides sustainable data permanence. This ensures long-term data storage without the worry of future fee hikes or network changes impacting data access or maintenance.
Yesterday Arweave…
➡️ Was deflationary.
➡️ Didn't charge its users any fees above endowment costs (and never will).
➡️ Ran at ~330 TPS all day. For context, that is…25x Ethereum
16x Algorand
11x Arbitrum
>8x Polygon PoSHave we mentioned that Arweave actually scales? https://t.co/o6DOxnwh3D pic.twitter.com/7pO7mOFwZC
