The fee is proportional to the size of the data uploaded and is designed to fund the storage of that data forArweave fees are soaring as @aoTheComputer scales. At 1,200 $AR/day, that’s roughly 0.5% annual deflation; 9,000 $AR/day would hit 5% deflation. This ties protocol economics directly—unlike ETH, where L2s dilute value. Scalability beats scarcity. Study this.
- The team is working on a research report that will cover anything and everything critical to know about @aoTheComputer for mainnet. Spoiler: it's wild. Feel free to reply or DM if interested in reading it first and/or collaborating.
